Try the various vmlinuz-prep.initrd from the debian installer, netbooting the powerpc/netboot version. sarge has an 2.6.8 kernel, sid a 2.6.14 and etch-beta1 has a 2.6.12 kernel. It works for my motorola powerstack II, but not for the IBM prep boxes, so i don't know how it stands for the Bull Escala, but we had posts about this in the past here, so i would be interested with feedback from the 3 above kernels. If it doesn't work and you can find a kernel patch for it to work, i would be glad to get it integrated into the debian kernels (same for the IBM prep stuff).
