i did need to create an xorg.conf, but that has been my experience with this nvidia chip. beyond that, no problems with install or boot.

i should point out that i am using the smp kernel by no choice of my own. mayhap this is why i lack the problem.

for those with the problem, i suggest trying either of the following at the yaboot prompt:
1. Linux single
2. Linux recovery

the former goes straight to the root prompt, while the second will offer a menu of options like normal recovery.

if that still fails, you should be able to use recovery from another desktop cd/dvd. even an old one. just get in there, set up networking if need be (when i tested Linux single, it was already set up), and have at it.

in any case, for me at least, not a bug, which is a total relief because, imho, nvidia depends upon alternate for quantal.
