I attempted to install the current tumbleweed release (March 1st 2018 snapshot) on a PowerMac G5 7,3 (4gb ddr ram 970FX CPU and Radeon 9650 Gpu. The installer gets to grub, then Loads kernel, and ramdisk. While this is happening, the fans are starting to ramp up to 100% (probably windfarm driver issue) then powermac either blank screens after "starting udev... " or goes to "sending dhcp request to EnP2P.." and that fails, so a blue screen prompt shows up. As soon as I start to click the URL, the powermac shuts down. I have to believe that the shut down is caused by the HW fan controller panicking and stopping the system (After a five min period). I have no idea what the failed dchp request means. really I did get Opensuse 11.1 to install, but that is way old and has missing repos. It seems to not give the same fan issue and Yast starts without issue. This means that something you did in 2008 that's making the fan work properly, and starting yast properly is not present in the current install. I'd love if you could figure this out.
