I used the netboot image from 03-Apr to successfully install on a PowerBook G4 (powerbook5,8). It has a similar ethernet controller also using the sungem driver. The pci id of my card is 106b:006b. So this is probably not a general problem for all powermacs. You could also try one of the newer daily images. I just discovered that they are now built again. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed.
