You probably need to pass it some kernel option at boot like noacpi or 
something.

Well, when I boot with the original processor, everything works but with
the Sonnet card booting hangs.

Since Sonnet delivers some MacOS drivers with their card could it be
that linux won't boot at all without some specific drivers? I mean,
would a linux kernel run on this card in general or not?

The only thing I changed was the processor card :(

Sometimes my messages don't show up for a long time either.
