Yes. Same problem here on a TiBook. I make it past yaboot, the first 
few lines of boot code snap on the screen (before the YDL boot image), 
and the computer shuts down. It's so early in the process that the 
linux root partition never mounts.

Under MacOS X, I mounted the bootstrap to a /Volume/temp folder and the 
contents are there and appear to be OK.

I zapped the pram to with no results.
