Ubuntu MATE for PowerPC

I tried to install Ubuntu-MATE, newly released for PowerPC, on my powermac G5 (2.0G Dualcore, late2005, GeForce6600LE) following Lubuntu 15.04.
Unfoutunately, my powermac always froze and couln't be installed neither 14.04LTS nor 15.04 beta-1 although I used many yaboot parameters such as "video=ofonly", "nouveau.noaccel=1" and "nouveau.modeset=0".
