I just wanted to add that my Ubuntu Linux 5 CD also fails to boot because of a problem with the CMD646 controller. Here is the error message:

I've just downloaded ubuntu-5.10-live-powerpc.iso in order to recreate this, but all I can get is a black screen. Can you confirm both the ISO you are using and the QEMU options you are using?
I don't have a reference for this, but my recollection is that when I was setting this machine up I found it documented that the G3 firmware couldn't boot Linux directly, you had to start with OS and use the Bootx app.
