I tried the Install (Default) testcase for Ubuntu Server PPC.  See
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1337/info .  It has some
minor English fixups needed, and I am not seeing a menu from which to
select "Install Ubuntu Server" as Step 2 says I should, but that's not
the important bit.

With the "Quantal Final" image dated 20121013 it installs but then I see
a kernel panic (some sort of recursive fault, I've not yet captured the
details) when booting from the hard disk!

I am now retesting using the older 20120925 Beta2 image to verify that
one works and that my PPC hardware is fine.

If anyone else can confirm or deny this problem, that would be good.
Otherwise, I'll start gathering info on the panic and open a kernel bug.
 I'm on #ubuntu-testing right now BTW.
