I had this same exact problem on my late 2005 DC 2.0GHz G5, when I tried installing FreeBSD on it about 5 years ago (early days of 64-bit powerpc support). I never did find the cause of the problem, but my late 2005 DC 2.3GHz G5 (same generation, just the faster model) works well with FreeBSD (typing this from it, it's my primary machine). Yet, to the best of my knowledge, the only difference between the two models is the CPU and bus clock speed. - Justin
