I think I made a mistake telling you that I was sure it's 
chrp_rs6k....sowwy ;-s 
After a double check I think you're right, look here:

/proc/cpuinfo: processor        : 0
/proc/cpuinfo: cpu              : POWER5 (gr)
/proc/cpuinfo: clock            : 1654.344000MHz
/proc/cpuinfo: revision : 2.1
/proc/cpuinfo: 
/proc/cpuinfo: processor        : 1
/proc/cpuinfo: cpu              : POWER5 (gr)
/proc/cpuinfo: clock            : 1654.344000MHz
/proc/cpuinfo: revision : 2.1
/proc/cpuinfo: 
/proc/cpuinfo: timebase : 207048000
/proc/cpuinfo: machine          : CHRP IBM,9406-520
                                             ^^^^^^

I think it's plain chrp. Explains also why I can't install partman-prep with 
anna-install because it's a wrong subarchitecture. But it needs the PREP 
partition to get it booted (it's also the redhat way). Is there a way to get 
partman-prep installed?
