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:
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)

No, it's the ppc32 smp kernel. max_cpus=1 won't help. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149618

I'm seeing similar behaviour to comment 9 in this bug. I installed from test2 but have been updating regularly since. I can't boot any kernels other than 'linux-up'.
/etc/yaboot.conf:

boot=/dev/sda3 init-message=Welcome to Fedora Core! Hit <TAB> for boot options

Anyone have any ideas?

This persists even after you 'rpm -e --allmatches kernel-smp' ?

That fixed it. Thanks!
Did I miss an FAQ somewhere?

Not really. It's discussed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149618 though.
