* A description of what you want to change
As per $subject. Also this update should close 472225 and 458438.
* Rationale for why the change is important enough to be allowed in after the freeze.
As of F-10 the installer is "too large" for most powerpc kernels and firmware to boot directly hence the "approved" install must use yaboot. This update includes fixes that allow F-10 to successully be installed on powerpc (32 and 64bit) machines directly across the network.
* Impact of *not* accepting the change at this point of the schedule.
F-11 will effectively be un-installable on a wide range of powerpc based machines.
* Information on what testing you've already done on the change to help reduce the risk.
I have tested the included patch on a range of powerpc machines (IBM 64bit and Apple 32bit) I have noted no regressions. The patch is as close to possible to ones subitted for upstream inclusion.
