Do testdrives like that allow installing custom git kernels, rebooting if there's a crash, and capturing serial console output?

Maybe the answer is yes, especially with how Power machines seem to always have a VM-like layer between the hardware and the OS. Otherwise though fuzzing tends to be a bad idea on systems you don't have local access or root permissions.

I suggest filling out the form, stating clearly what you need to do, and see what their response is.
