Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2006-02-16 13:43:33 UTC 
Can you boot into OF and run:

printenv load-base

Is the system standalone or connected to a HMC, is it a full system partition or
a logical partition (lpar).
Comment 2 Bilhega, JC 2006-02-17 09:51:40 UTC 
From OF:

0> printenv load-base
----------- Partition: common ------------ Signature: 0x70 ---------------
load-base             4000                      4000
 ok

Does this happen with test3 final?
Comment 4 Bilhega, JC 2006-02-22 11:28:08 UTC 
I made the tests and still with the problem in the test3 release.
It happens with boot.iso, FC-5-Test3-ppc-rescuecd.iso and with the FC-5-Test3-
ppc-disc1.iso
