David or Paul,
Are you talking about after the install has been completed or before anaconda even starts? I haven't been able to get past the initial loading of the kernel because it looks to me like the install cd/dvd is loading a 32bit UP kernel.
When I hit TAB at yaboot's boot: prompt, I have a "linux" kernel-- that's it. No "linux-up" or anything else. I have tried this from both the CDROM based install and DVD install (I happened to download both, the dvd via torrent and the cd's via wget). Originally, since the cd's completed first, I tried installing from there. When I ran into the error seconds after I clicked enter at yaboots prompt, I thought that maybe the CD1 was a bad iso, so I burned the DVD. The DVD gave me the same thing.
I saw some workarounds that you mention. But from what I could tell, they deal with an installed system. Do you see any options for me to get around this bug so that I can get an installed system? I've already looking into trying to pull one of my CPUs. But I couldn't figure out how to remove a processor with ease without having to disassemble the entire case and therefore have relying on speaking to others on the list before I go further.
Thanks,
Joe

This is a bug in anaconda installing the smp ppc32 kernel as we don't
have a kernel-smp.ppc64
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149618
Hit tab at boot: and you should have another kernel option something
like linux-up the ppc64 kernel (which has smp support in it). Then just
edit yaboot.conf appropriately.
