Hi, It is normal for the LED to turn off. You can manually turn it on (there's a /dev/led for it). Regarding the installer hanging, I saw that back when the powerpc64 port was originally done, on my dual-core 2GHz G5, but not on my DC 2.3GHz G5, so I do wonder if it's something related to that particular CPU stepping, or firmware. - Justin On Mon, 03 Sep 2018 02:56:56 +0000 koa~ via freebsd-ppc <[email protected]> wrote: > So I tried booting the installer again and for some reason it worked, > but the problem seems to exist in the installed system too. > At random times it'd just hang while I'm using it and the red #7 LED > will light up.
