I installed linux-image-2.6.14-rc5-powerpc-smp from there, on a dual G5 powermac, and it fails to boot. Here's a manually transcribed copy of the boot messages: ...ok opening display /[EMAIL PROTECTED],f0000000/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... ok copying OF device tree ... done starting cpu /cpus/PowerPC,G5 ... failed: 00000000 Initializing fake screen: ATY,Whelk_A Calling quiesce... returning 0x01400000 from prom_init Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00000000.01403784 %SRR1: 10000000.00083030 Apple PowerMac7,3 5.1.8f7 BootROM built on 10/26/04 at 16:30:32 Copyright 1994-2004 Apple Computer, Inc All Rights Reserved Welcome to Open Firmware, the system time and date is :12:47:00 10/26/2005 To continue booting, type 'mac-boot" and press return. To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return. Release keys to continue! At this point the system is unresponsive, and I have to hold the power button in to shutdown.
