Just to follow up on this.

The problem does not appear to be the kernel.  Installing on one disk 
succeeds in producing a bootable system every time.  Installing on all 
four disks (two 73 GB disks and two 146 GB disks) never succeeds.

Although there are a storm of ipr driver messages as before, that is 
likely not the problem.

I'm going to continue on #fedora-ppc and the corresponding mailing list.
