DigitalAudio, nVidia, splash
This one is a PowerMac G4/533 DigitalAudio with a nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX400 controller. At boot the Ubuntu splash does not appear. I've tried several permutations of xorg.conf and dpkg-reconfigure, to no avail. This forum post, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290998,
suggests using append=" verbose splash" instead of append =" quiet splash" in the yaboot.conf file.
MacBuild has seen G4/533 machines before, and I don't recall seeing/fixing this problem. Maybe we ignored it, or there was a different video card. I don't see any previous mention in this journal, although I have not made an exhaustive search.
