I think the problem is in the file size limits in the firmware, the
kernel and/or ramdisk are too big to load. I've used
http://sharkcz.livejournal.com/8649.html to install F-15 my
Intellistation, the procedure should work for newer Fedora too. Once you
have one Fedora installed you can use yum to upgrade to newer release.

Only issue here as I see it, is that you need to have a running system
to set this all up. I would suggest that a smaller initrd image is
needed. OR we need updated frimware from IBM.
