Comments/Problems:
The machine has an UPA creator 3d graphics board in addition to the
onboard ATI graphics.
The installer boots, but the console display likely ends up at the wrong
video card. The last message to appear on the creator 3D output is
'using PROM console'. The kernel doesn't seem to detect the creator 3d board.
The ATI video card is not initialized correctly as attaching a monitor doesn't
give an image. The keyboard leds do function though, so the machine did
not panic.
