Hi,

I managed to pickup this G5 powermac but I'm not sure if its supported as I can’t seem to boot morphos 3.15.

See here for the general machine specs

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_1.8_dp_2.html

Please note it DOES NOT have the nvidia gpu installed, it has an ATI 9600 XT installed instead.

ATI Radeon 9600 XT
Display
AGP
Slot: Slot 1
VRAM: 128MB
Vendor 0x1002
Device ID 0x4152
Revision 0x0000

When I try to boot the cd it doesn’t seem to do it automatically, if i boot it from the open firmware it says loading morphos and the amount of ram then the display turns off.

Im using this command to boot (boot cd:,\mac_ppc64\boot.img bd cd0)


(Its possible its switching to a screen mode my monitor does not support… or it may not be working)

The machine seems to work fine in macos 10.5.8 once it boots..but it does takes ages to boot.
