On the PPC64, I tested the installation on my PowerMac G5 and for the 
first time, it went well!

Then, I have a blocking problem though, when Linux boots. I found that 
it was related to the graphics card. In the X log, I get:

(II) LoadModule: "nouveau"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau
(EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)

And at the end:

(II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms
(II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
(II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card0
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev
(II) Loading sub module"fbdevhw"

The fact is that I have no display.

Is there something to do to make Debian PPC to work with NVidia cards? 
Or should I change for a Radeon one?

Thanks,

Mathias
