Not yet it seems. I took the Jan 28 boot.iso from 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ \
ppc/images/pseries/boot.iso. My box is a RS6000 CHRP PowerPC model 7043 
(43p-150) with a 604e 32bit cpu. Booting this boot.iso gives:

boot:
* linux
boot: linux
Please wait, loading kernel...
    Elf64 kernel loaded...
Loading ramdisk...
ramdisk loaded at 01b00000, size: 4202 Kbytes

Unexpected Firmware Error:
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00700 at   %SRR0: 0140bd8c   %SRR1: 00083000

The "Elf64 kernel loaded..." message says it all. I look forward to a 
trying a hopefully soon to be released ppc32 boot.iso.

Regards,
Patrick
