I've managed to install Debian on my Blade 150, but it was a lot of hassle. I used a netinst cd, and passed a "ide=nodma" to kernel options. The installation hanged at the end, and I had to install silo manually. I couldn't install silo to the whole disk MBR so I installed it to the partitions BR. To run silo I have to run "boot disk:d" from OBP. I had to put "ide=nodma" to the kernel options in silo.conf to be able to boot Debian.
