When using debian-40r0-sparc-DVD-1.iso on PPC, configuring network  
manually and selecting the desktop option it crashed at 69%  
(python-2.4?) with the following message:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->contect = 0000007b
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fc054400
Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

It does not say "Illegal Instruction" and it did recognize and  
repartition the harddrive.
