Hi, I don't know too much about iSeries. I just haven't heard of any people in IBM working on Fedora on iSeries, while they do test Fedora on pSeries. Seems that for recent i models, the PPC binary should work fine, but for earlier models this is not the case, since no people bother to test them. For such kind of rare hardware, I fear the community cannot help much. You should ask IBM or Red Hat for commercial support. Or just try CentOS 4.4 PPC release for your luck.
