    Hello,

    I installed last ISO of Debian for PowerPC. All is fine but screen is
    blank, xserver doesn't start. Following Adrian advice, I installed xserver-xorg-video-r128package but there's no changes. Must I type
    something particular after installing this package or must I install
    another package ?

    Many thanks for your help

    Please provide the log files from the installation which can be found
    in /var/log/installer.

    Also, please provide the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

    Hi Adrian,

    Thank you !

    I can't mount USB key on my iMac (mount -t ext4 /dev/sbd /mnt makes
    errors) so I installed Midnight Commander and used FTP. Log files are
    here : http://www.education.free.fr/a/

    does your iMac have a mach64 or mach128 video? (try lspci)

    Did it work in the past or is this your first install?

    Several installations. Never worked before.

    From your Xorg log file:
    [ 73.341] (WW) R128(0): Failed to read PCI ROM!
    [ 73.341] (WW) R128(0): Video BIOS not found!

    I wonder if that's normal?
