- You need the radeon.agpmode=-1 to keep the graphics from locking up.
- Double click the install icon on the desktop
- Don’t add extra options like download the packages while installing.
- You may have to manually erase all partitions, if it’s getting hung up go into the advanced (manual) partition setup, erase all the partitions and start the installation from scratch.
- Create the encrypted disk, default partitions
- Encrypt home directories
- Boot the installation with “Linux radeon.agpmode=-1 video=radeonfb:1024x768”
- Edit /etc/yaboot.cnf, find the “append=“ and add “radeon.agpmode=-1 video=radeonfb:1024x768”
