Hi all, I recently installed 10.0-RELEASE (and later upgraded to 10.1-PRERELEASE) on a Mac Mini G4. Both worked just fine: the kernel properly detected the DVI-attached 24" screen and selected the 1920x1200 native resolution. However, I just tried to boot an 11.0-CURRENT snapshot installation image (20140903-r270990) and things are very different. The kernel loaded just fine from the OpenFirmware prompt, but then the screen went completely black and the machine apparently locked up (the keyboard is unresponsive; not even caps lock works). I suspect this is because of the new console code but I have no proof of it. Has anyone successfully used newcons on a Mini G4? Any ideas on how to debug this? Thanks!
