Well the fbdev driver made my display stop "melting", and just goes black instead. I'm not sure what you mean with the benh kernel. I checked your page, and I see the RPM's. Can I simply install these RPM's (if so which ones exactly)? How will these work when I have to boot from BootX? I don't mind reinstalling if need be. It goes surprisingly fast on this old beast.
Sorry, I'm kinda new to the PPC side of things. The last time I installed PPC Linux, was SuSE, and it just worked. Now that I think about it, I had tried installing mdk 8.2 on this machine long ago, and gave up due to similar problems.
