Hello List,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10
(http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/karmic/release/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-powerpc.iso)
on IBM eServer System p5.

I get a boot prompt where I enter
"expert install video=ofonly"

It loads kernel then ELF and then I get a b/w screen saying,


done
instantiating rtas at 0x07716000 .... done
WARNING: maximum cups (1) exceeded: ignoring extras
copying OF device tree...

Device tree struct 0x01e03000 -> 0x01e12000
Calling quiesce....
returning from prom_init
_


and then system freezes.

Same is the case with Debian Testing

What can be the solution for this problem?
