I need help getting past a grey screen on disk 1 of the fedora ppc install. nothing changes it. It will begin to install from the boot prompt and then at the end of the first set of instructions, it switches to a grey screen and thats it. Any thoughts?
How about starting the install from the first prompt with
linux text
to install in text mode?

Another option is to start the install with 'linux xdriver=vesa' to get the installation to use the vesa driver instead. If you wanted to assure that the installer used any particular driver, you can add that driver after xdriver=<mydriver>
The gray screen usually indicates poor xdriver detection. Specifying a particular driver may prevent the failure.
