At the prompt which answers "linux" when you hit tab (the yaboot prompt), enter
linux text
and try that.
Thanks for the help, however, same result. I end up with black on the left of the screen and blue on the right. No text .. no menus, nothing.
Wish there was a headless option with a serial port.

try linux vnc see: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/VNC_Wh...
I have still some problems with my imac g5 display in X though after installation.
good suggestion, tried that and 25 secs into the install the system switches from output of messages to the console to a black screen with a blue section on the right. Then it just sits there.
So I figure my system hardware is borked, perhaps.
Try the Fedora 16 beta. That was what I used to install my Imac. I later upgraded to the Fedora 16 release. The beta kernel worked with the nomodeset kernel command line option, the release kernel does not work with it. On the beta kernel I have not been able to get X running, it kind of works on the release kernel, X works when started with startx. When I boot into graphical mode, it shows the background on the 640*480 mode and a full screen. The display settings show 2 screens, one unknown screen. Graphical login is kind of borked: blue with red... I wish i had some more time to p[lay around a write a decent BZ... Louis
