introduction and squeeze/power64 installs wrong kernel



Hi list,

just a short introduction...
i'm a long time unix/linux user, and finally decided to join some linux development mailing lists.

recently we got new Power7 machine, and i tried latest-squeeze-netinst.iso yesterday.
LPAR install. no luck, cannot boot fresh install.
after 2-3 hours of fiddling, i noticed, that Elf32 kernel is being loaded, which ends with tons of errors.

booting install64 and expert64 installs powerpc-smp kernel (32-bit)
rescue64 boots correct (64-bit) kernel.
tried to install manually 64-bit kernel, but it did not boot anyway :(

question to list:
which image should be good starting point to get one linux LPAR running ?
then i can do some more testing.

started to download this one:
