I installed linux-image-2.6.14-rc5-powerpc-smp from there, on a dual
G5 powermac, and it fails to boot.  Here's a manually transcribed copy
of the boot messages:

  ...ok

  Welcome to Open Firmware, the system time and date is :12:47:00 10/26/2005

  To continue booting, type 'mac-boot" and press return.
  To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.

  Release keys to continue!

At this point the system is unresponsive, and I have to hold the power
button in to shutdown.

Here's some extra info:

  $ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
  processor       : 0
  cpu             : PPC970

Please let me know if I've missed something obvious here, or if more
information is required.

Thanks
