I've got a G5 2x2.0 and I'm trying to get it to boot using the 100+MB Debian-installer image. Yaboot starts off fine, and when I enter /install/power4/vmlinux at the prompt, the kernel starts loading. I get through the white background with the graphics board message and then get the black background screen with the two Tuxes and the kernel messages. The kernel starts looping on a "do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (handler = x)" message where I've seen x = 0 | 1. I've tried using the kernel parameters listed in yaboot.conf for 'expert-safe' but still get stuck in the do_IRQ step. I also unplugged non-essential peripherals and still get stuck. Any thoughts?
