Current sid and sarge kernels work just fine on powerstack II, since we fixed all bugs on them. I have such a one and can confirm this, as well as IBM prep reports. Please try : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-powerpc/rc3/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd or : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-powerpc/rc3/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-ppcbug.initrd (but i don't think it is a ppcbug machine like the powerstack I was, right ?) > the kernel to be patched in order to work.
