Bug Description

I have a G5 iMac from Apple, which is a powerpc 64 machine.
Last good boot is with kernel 2.6.30-2-powerpc64-smp. All 2.6.31-* kernels fail to boot with the following error, just after yaboot returns (on a black-on-white screen):

Release any keys to continue!

How can I help with better debugging info on this bug?
