And it should have better support for e.g. Efika than Fedora 7.
But on my PegII it does not install, if someone else is more lucky, please, let me know.
Still stuck with Core 6....

Thanks, will try the patch ASAP.
I had to downgrade from 7 to 6 cause with 7 I could not use my DVD drive and when at last there was a kernel fix for the problem the system was very unstable, hoping 8 to fix aal the problems in 7.

Edit:

No luck, still the same problem exists.
If I try to do a net install I get "downloading first part of the installation program failed" (not exactly word to word as that is translated from Finnish...), and this happens after the instalaltion has fetched stage2.img from the net.
If I try to install from DVD my drive is opened and and installation wants Fedora DVD to be inserted though it`s in the drive. (And I`ve tried 3 times to download and burn the image witt different computers)....

Perhaps it`s all because of my G3, couldn`t afford a G4... Luckily there`s MOS.

Ok, reading the mailing lists solved my problem. Adding 'nopcmcia acpi=off video=radeonfb:1280x800@60' to the boot command helped and upgrading is going on atm.

Yep, i did even a couple of more test and it was acpi indeed...

But sadly F8 is quite unstable, can`t even upgrade any or install new packages...

Motosampy: Is that something specific to PowerPC?

dholm: That is really true, unfortunately.

I have been using FC8 for two weeks on my peg (G4 512M firmware 1.2+firmware patch)
it is very stable, no freezes, have updated to 2.6.23-1.49 kernel
boots up with yaboot, have to edit the config file when kernel is updated
but apart from that no other problems

Code:
cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < /path/to/where/you/saved/linux-2.6.22.9-Pegasos2.patch

you will need to build the kernel after that, I do suggest that you always use the --dry-run before you do the actual patch, as that way you will see if the patch will be successful or not, without trying to patch your files.
