It started to load again and then died again. Here is the output
when it stops booting:
Wrong list, fedora-test-list is where this should go

Don't have a g5, but that surely looks wrong

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?
max_cpus=1 might work. In fact, whats in there might actually be a
uniprocessor kernel, because there was a bug (or still is a bug) in
relation to the installation
So hit tab, and don't boot into linux (there should be another kernel there, its just
not the default)
