Partial Success-
I swapped the CPU, and I got it to boot Linux! So it must be a cache problem.
However, it freezes when I try to do anything graphical (such as X.org, etc.) and the installer DVD reverts to text mode. Loading anything graphical seems to hard freeze the machine Could that be related to the video card I have installed? It is the stock card from a Quicksilver 2001 (this machine was upgraded to a Quicksilver 2002 via a logic board replacement when the old one died; all other non-logic board related specifications are the same, including the video card and CPU card).
I had at one point an ATI Radeon 9000 card installed (for QE and CI support under Leopard), but it died, so I reverted to the old one (I think Nvidia Geforce 2mx or Geforce 3mx).
Any suggestions?
I've made a little progress, anyway...
