Bug Description
Installed from Gutsy release Live CD using the following procedure to work around the initramfs problem:
% live-nosplash-
...
(initramfs) modprobe ide_core
(initramfs) exit
The live CD then boots with errors about Bonobo and date set to 1904.
Ran the installer successfully.
Reboot, got to yaboot, selected 'Linux'. Final message is "Loading, please wait."
After that the screen slowly changed colors to various blues and then faded to white. At this point the machine is non-responsive and I cannot get to virtual terminals.
Attempt to boot to single-user mode produced the same result.
Ideas or steps for further diagnosis?

I have seen that effect (screen colours slowly changing) on the machine. i get it with the gutsy live cd, so i did an install with the feisty cd and upgraded (using the ide_core and killall esd work arounds).
