 Please note that I am currently refraining to upload 1.3.14, because I
 no longer have access to the p505 which IBM France lent me. It should
 be solved soon though.

Understand.

  According to git Changelog, it's possible that it fixes the install issue of
  the debian-4.0r3 I mentioned on debian-powerpc ml:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2008/03/msg00038.html.

 May I ask you the favour to tell me what git commit exactly? It is
 unsure 1.3.14 will really fix your problem.

Well you are absolutly right (why I said it's possible).
Never the less I was worry  when readinfg the latest commit:

commit 58838f4a6973c60dc1b764fba20682ce07bb6c96
Author: Paul Nasrat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date:   Fri Aug 17 15:22:00 2007 +0100

On some of the larger kernels we are starting to see a space squeeze.
The kernel is currently being put at 20MBs and on some of the newer
pSeries systems we are getting real-bases at 32MBs (plus AIX 5.3 has
real-base at 32MB, so if AIX is ever booted, everything gets shifted).

[snip]
And the p510 on which I playing, was supplied by the end of june 2007, so may
be in some of the newer pseries, thought.

 It is also not clear in
 your post whether you actually tested it or not.

Not tested yet as far as debian couldn't reboot from installed hd and it's
painfull to restart from cd ;(
That said, I tried also this other Open distro which boot from hd.
Even thought it's not my favorite debian it would help with debootstrap to
build a debian on another disk. This last one (chrooted) would itself be a
good startup to build/test this new yaboot release; just need more time...

Tx,
j.
