Linux on new iMac G5 PowerMac12,1 ?

[Percy Zahl <pzahl@bnl.gov>]

Hi all-

I tried to boot a 2.6.14.3-ppc kernel on a new iMac G5 (20"/2.1GHz)  
PowerMac12,1, it crashed after about 4 or 5 lines of kernel messages,  
and the OF promt was back scrolling endless.... need to manually  
power off to recover.

Is there any Linux kernel variant known to boot successfully on such  
a machine?

thx
