Have you tried recent kernels? On my G5 when booting with a kernel later than ec9b3a9 (drm/nouveau/i2c: resume use of i2c-algo-bit, rather than custom stack) it just powers off during boot. There is now an undocumented option CONFIG_NOUVEAU_I2C_INTERNAL that reverts back to the state before ec9b3a9, which allows me to boot through to X, but it doesn't really work well. The nv driver is still miles ahead.
I'll have a look when I get to the office. I'm using debian sid and the kernel might be a couple of releases back, but overall it's working pretty well, gnome3 shell & all.
