David or Paul,
Are you talking about after the install has been completed or before
anaconda even starts? I haven't been able to get past the initial loading
of the kernel because it looks to me like the install cd/dvd is loading a
32bit UP kernel.
When I hit TAB at yaboot's boot: prompt, I have a "linux" kernel--
that's
it. No "linux-up" or anything else. I have tried this from both the
CDROM based install and DVD install (I happened to download both, the dvd
via torrent and the cd's via wget). Originally, since the cd's completed
first, I tried installing from there. When I ran into the error seconds
after I clicked enter at yaboots prompt, I thought that maybe the CD1 was
a bad iso, so I burned the DVD. The DVD gave me the same thing.
I saw some workarounds that you mention. But from what I could tell, they
deal with an installed system. Do you see any options for me to get
around this bug so that I can get an installed system? I've already
looking into trying to pull one of my CPUs. But I couldn't figure out
how to remove a processor with ease without having to disassemble the
entire case and therefore have relying on speaking to others on the list
before I go further.
Thanks,
Joe

Any suggestions? Is this a problem with booting dual proc g5's
This is a bug in anaconda installing the smp ppc32 kernel as we don't
have a kernel-smp.ppc64
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149618
Hit tab at boot: and you should have another kernel option something
like linux-up the ppc64 kernel (which has smp support in it). Then just
edit yaboot.conf appropriately.
