Have you tried recent kernels? On my G5 when booting with a kernel later
than ec9b3a9 (drm/nouveau/i2c: resume use of i2c-algo-bit, rather than
custom stack) it just powers off during boot.  There is now an
undocumented option CONFIG_NOUVEAU_I2C_INTERNAL that reverts back to the
state before ec9b3a9, which allows me to boot through to X, but it
doesn't really work well.  The nv driver is still miles ahead.
