Newer iseries (those using the power5 processor and are just disguised pseries
as i understand) are supported. Older iseries are currently not, but mostly
because i lacked someone with access to the hardware which would help us
fine-tune the configuration files. I will do a powerpc64-legacy flavours for
those machines once someone interested in it shows up, and i guess you
qualify :)
Do you have a recent kernel running on such hardware, and if so can you send
us the .config options used for it ? I will try to get it in 2.6.14-3 in
unstable, and debian-installer beta2 should have support for it, but not the
upcoming beta1. Oh, and we also need help debugging debian-installer for this
hardware.
