Comments/Problems:
The machine booted from CD and i saw the Yaboot prompt. I
tried install-power4 and the kernel began to initialize. It
got through about 30 linux until this message:
Serial driver version 5.05 (20001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)

do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
During this time the fans began to speed up. Let me tell you
they can become rather ferocious. After googling, it looks
like that problem was fixed. It's just that the kernel didn't
get to them yet.
So i thought maybe there's a safe version, but i didn't know
if it's install-safe-power4 or install-power4-safe. If i
remember correctly the Yaboot prompt doesn't say that you
can type help for more help. So someone may want to add that.
So i found the list and selected install-safe-poewer4. It
resulted in the same problem.
I did not try the expert versions.
:) Brian

I was able to install Debian eventually. I'd rather
not reinstall.
The bug that i reported was fixed. See my comments
on 2004 Jul 25th.
