Moving forward I attempted an install of 13.2 on my favored device, a G5 1.8 Ghz dual processor with an ATI 9600XT card, but the install was painfully slow... marginal graphic support (card is "supported"). So not to be thwart= ed, I pulled out my last remaining G5, an identical G5 dual 1.8 with the 9600 c= ard and attempted the same install... once again, the process was incredibly sl= ow with the same outcome observed as with the first dual. Just to confirm my suspicion, I wiped the drive on the original G5 single processor and began = an install. Once again, with the single, the process was quick and smooth. So basically I found 13.2 very workable on a G5 single. However, it has been = my experience and that of others that install on a multiprocessor PPC is exceedingly challenging and as noted by opening poster renders 13.2 essenti= ally unusable on these devices. Good news: Swapping in a 9600Xt card into the G5 single has yielded fully functional FreeBSD on PPC. Bad news: 13.2 would currently seem to be a no go on the multiprocessor devices. Hopeful that this may addressed and remedied to some extent. P.S. all drives standard HDD. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
