Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.

Created attachment 423910 [details] rhel-6 network install crash on ppc64 Description of problem: While trying to do a netwrork install of rhel-6 with yaboot, the kernel panics when it tries to mount the root partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-6 beta 1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a tftp server with yaboot and rhel-6 installation files (vmlinuz and ramdisk.image.gz) from the ppc/ppc64 directory on the DVD. 2. Boot the LPAR in network mode (SMS) Actual results: Yaboot loads the files, boots the kernel and then the kernel crashes. Expected results: The kernel doesn't crash and anaconda starts. Additional info: In the beginning I couldn't even get this far, a crash occured in OF. Then, I started to try some alternate values for the real-base parameter in OF. Finally, I got into this with real-base = 0x3000000...
