video issues in ydl 3.0.1

[Roland Drake]

I just finished installing YDL 3.0.1 on an old beige Power Mac G3 366  
tower. The installation went very smoothly. Initially when booting  
into the YDL OS, there were no issues. However at a certain point,  
the system reported an issue regarding video and got stuck there. Now  
all I have is a black screen.

During the installation process, the system detected the monitor and  
video card. It identified the monitor as generic and the video card  
(not the original card** which came with the G3, but a PCI upgrade:  
Radeon 7000 for Mac) as a Radeon VE. I readjusted these selections  
for these devices to their actual values: Mag DX15T for the monitor  
and Radeon 7000 for the video card. Then, I completed the rest of the  
installation.

I suspect that the issue might have to do with the video card.

I took a picture of the error message which popped on screen and have  
posted it on this link:

Any assistance in trying to decipher this issue is greatly appreciated.

** Apple System Profiler identifies the original video card as an ATI  
mach 64_3DU Pro.
