Has anyone been able to load SuSE 7.1 onto an RS/6000 I have booted from the second CD and it gives the boot: prompt but then halts. If you press enter at this point it comes back with unable to load kernel memory. Any pointers to being able to load Linux onto this F50 would be appreciated.

Where did you get the CD? Is it the correct one?

7.1 and the release confirms that it is for the PowerPC with the chrp processor. It gives the boot prompt when booting from CD2 but that is where it stops.
