Have you tried this?

This looks like it might be the solution to the fan problem. I
have a G5
myself, but haven't installed YDL on it yet (but the main HD is
partitioned
for it). I'd be interested to hear if this works for you.

Apparently you decided to reinstall. Perhaps if you referred to the
manual in the section describing setting up the partitioning and
mount
points on the drives, the details could be less confusing. Here's
the
TSS link to download the manual for YDL 4.0/4.0.1:

For clarity, I am not suggesting that a reinstall will change the
revving issue. Unfortunately, I don't have a G5 myself and my
previous
guesses were limited as they were based upon a G4 anyway. Hopefully,
other G5 users will come forward and assist your queries.
Best wishes...

Sooo.... I tried booting from the installer disc (YDL 4.0.1) and
with
"install-g5". At least with the kernel used on the install disk, the
fan revving problem is still there. I went all the way through the
process, including partitioning and package selection before I
bailed.
I have two internal SATA drives. sda (OS X) and sdb (hoping to
install
Linux). I bailed because I couldn't tell which drive YDL was
about to
be installed on. I know about the issue with installing Linux on a
second internal SATA drive and yaboot and PRAM settings, but I am
not
prepared to change that at this time. I am just trying to see if
I can
get a system without fan revving as a first priority.
Where do I go from here?
Cheers,
Thanks. I have consulted with others more knowledgeable than myself
on the Fedora PPC list. Here was their reply:
This is web page was about the support for the very first of the new
PowerMac G5 machines. With this fix I got fan support for our
2.0GHz G5,
back when we ran YDL because I thought their Mac focus would mean
better
support for such things. note these were kernels from around 2.6.8 and
2.6.9.
However, this was specifically PowerMac7,2 and for PowerMac7,3 I
had to
move to FC4 unless I wanted to pay for YDL 4.0.91 beta. For a while I
built my own kernel but I didn't want to keep doing that, applying a
simple patch to add 7,3 support that I got from a benh post somewhere.
As far as your 9,1 system, 2.6.15 was the first place the support was
officially integrated. It is likely that YDL 4.1 might have it when it
comes out, even if its a backport to an older kernel. I'm going to
grab
the 4.1 YDL kernels when they are available and try them out. I'm also
going to try and rebuild the FC4 test 2.6.15 kernels to see if I
can get
them working properly.
Cheers,
Brian
