is there any known problem with initrd's on the ppc?

i am currently trying to get a small initrd based standalone system
working on the ppc like i did for the i386

 http://innominate.org/~graichen/projects/miniroot/

to make the playing around with the xfs filesystem a bit more
comfortable but it does not really boot on the ppc (new world
mac, 2.4.1 kernel, SuSE 7.0/ppc) ...

It's a 32Mb initrd ? Well, it's possible that it gets broken then. I'm
not sure yaboot support such a large ramdisk. I'll give it a look.

i have uploaded my test miniroot files at

  http://innominate.org/~graichen/projects/miniroot/ppc/

maybe it's a good start to look from

btw. i now also tried it with frsh yaboot (ybin) - 1.1.1 - still
the same problem ...
