I'm trying to install, but I didn't think it was worth
going to much trouble till I saw it could actually boot
something. Currently, none of the kernels or boot.fs
will work.

This does the same as booting the generic kernel. Same
messages exactly. After displaying info about the memory,
it just locks i.e.

CPU: Version ffff8000 (Revision 200)
Total memory = 512MB
Avail memory = 463MB
using 2867 buffers containing 26316KB or memory.

My first partition is number 6, I know this for certain but I have
tried others to no avail. Possibly mine is different to most because
I repartitioned the HD when I got the machine.

I'm beginning to wonder myself if it's an issue with the new
PPC 7450's. I assume no-one else here has tried booting on a
667Mhz or 733Mhz G4?
