Hello!
I'm trying to install fedora 20 release (netinstall image) to JS22 (type 7998) blade. It has 2 power6 cpus and 8Gb of RAM.
Upon booting from cdrom, I have the following output:
Booting `Install Fedora 20 (64-bit kernel)'
OF stdout device is: /vdevice/vty@30000000 Preparing to boot Linux version 3.11.10-301.fc20.ppc64 (mockbuild@ppc-builder7.qa.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.8.2 20131017 (Red Hat 4.8.2-1) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Dec 10 00:35:15 MST 2013 Detected machine type: 0000000000000101 Max number of cores passed to firmware: 512 (NR_CPUS = 1024) Calling ibm,client-architecture-support... done command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/ppc/ppc64/vmlinuz ro memory layout at init: memory_limit : 0000000000000000 (16 MB aligned) alloc_bottom : 0000000006e80000 alloc_top : 0000000008000000 alloc_top_hi : 0000000008000000 rmo_top : 0000000008000000 ram_top : 0000000008000000 found display : /pci@800000020000202/display@1, opening... done instantiating rtas at 0x0000000006eb0000... done Querying for OPAL presence... not there. boot cpu hw idx 0 starting cpu hw idx 2... done starting cpu hw idx 4... done starting cpu hw idx 6... done copying OF device tree...

can you please guide me how do I install fedora on this hardware? Thanks!
Tried to boot with -netinst.iso and -dvd.iso today with refreshed kernel (3.14.3), got the following error message with both iso's:
