Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.15-4
I'm trying to install Debian testing on a PowerMac11,2 (PowerMac G5, dual 2GHz processors, January 2006) using a current etch d-i ISO. From the boot screen I have tried 

  install64
  install64 video=ofonly
These start the boot process which leaves some OF text on the screen (black on white) and overwrites it with the following in a white IBM- like font on a black background: 

Found initrd at 0xc00...1736
trying to initialize btext ...
CF000100


MM Init
CF000100


MM Init Done
CF000012


Setup Arch
... and at this point the box (or at least the display) freezes. After a short time the fan comes on. 

The display adaptor is a PCI nVidia GeForce 6600.
