I grabbed the first disk for the PPC build of FC4-T2, and was reading through the README files to see what the supported hardware is before I burn that disk and grab the rest.
Problem is, the disk has the HW Requirements fole for intel/X86 systems, rather than the PPC file.
What hardware are you looking at installing on?
RS/6000 (at the moment, I have a 43P-140 to try it on, but that machine type has long-standing problems for booting).

Currently Fedora Core ppc is targetted at 32/64 bit powermac and should work on 64 bit pseries.
32 bit pSeries won't work atm as the yaboot is incompatible with initrd loading on 32bit pSeries.
I've a box on my desk and will have a look at somepoint, but it's not a high priority.

Um, that box is PReP and AFAIK isn't well supported by mainline kernels in the later 2.6 series. Last I knew you had to use special kernels with a number of extra patches for that box (mine's in a closet in Minnesota so I can't test with it).
