So, have you followed the instructions on the screen to download the firmware? The bug, and its solution, are described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues#A12.04_Preci...

That confirms that your problem is the one described in the Ubuntu notes that I linked to. Just follow the instructions there.

When installing Linux it is always a good idea to read the installation documentation first, particularly when using an architecture other than x86.

I'm afraid that your link is broken so I can't see what your new problem is.

Did you try following the instructions to get 12.04 working? The link that I gave earlier also lists solutions to problems with 12.10.
