It worked on 2.6.9 which was the last one I tested with serial
connections. Will check 2.6.10...

I can't test, but IBM tried the installer on all pSeries machines
they had in access for testing and the installer worked for them
with HMC (is this identical to hvc? Anything special needed
here?) and direct console. I'm not 100% sure if we need to
disable the pSeries support for your hardware.

Can you send me a working kernel configuration for your
hardware? I can compare and check if there needs to be
another kernel flavor...
