I just downloaded the fedora core test2 for ppc.  I rebooted my PPC Dual 
G5.  I was prompted by yaboot and hit enter to except the default kernel 
"linux."  The kernel starts to load and then dies.  I shutdown the machine 
and started it back up and at yaboot, typed linux nofb.  It started to 
load again and then died again.  Here is the output when it stops booting:

Welcome to OPen Firmware, the system time and date is: 16:49:16 04/21/2005

To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.

Release keys to continue!




Any suggestions?  Is this a problem with dual proc g5's?  Is there any way 
to disable SMP with a kernel parameter that can be passwed? 

Thanks,
Joe
