   kernel-default-2.6.22.5-31.ppc.rpm

 It seems from the openSUSE article that it doesn't matter which
 initrd and kernel are used.

Sorry, doesn't work, too. I can boot using BootX and I get a menu to 
select installation properties, but there is no network and no access 
to the cd drive and I can't load any modules.
So it's not easy to install...

Than you have 2 ways left. 
Use 10.2 to install openSUSE and then you can upgrade, or install as dual 
boot, or create your own initrd that will include network and CD drivers. 

Maybe you can get some ideas using:

Hm, maybe this could work, I'll give it a try. But it has to wait a 
little bit. I've updated my Maincomputer (PentiumM Notebook) to 10.3 
today, just ended a view minutes ago (this is the first e-mail). After 
total freez after reboot (options in xorg.conf which seems not to work 
in 10.3, I have to find out, which one, first deaktivated all) I have 
to find out what else is going wrong (I've allready seen, sound only in 
yast, all other applications can't find a soundcard, no funktions in 
kpowersave, some of my scripts don't work anymore, because of other 
changes...) and fix it.

I see, I have to invest more time in betatesting next time and not only 
in VirtualBox.

The VirtualBox is kind of ideal world. 
All hardware is the same.

Take a look into the 10.2 directory and you will see the difference.

 Take a look into the 10.2 directory and you will see the difference.

I found both in factory oss repository in large mini iso that was all in one. 
Now it is split into ppc and x86 part.

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-ppc-mini.iso
Here is yaboot.txt in above mini iso:
  Welcome to openSuSE 10.3 (PPC)!

  Type  install  to start the YaST installer on this CD/DVD
  Type  slp  to start the YaST install via network
  Type  rescue   to start the rescue system on this CD/DVD

It seems that all you need is this mini iso.

No chance! It's a Old World Powerbook, yaboot can't be used for it. I 
have to use BootX and can't start from the CD. And BootX needs
