Just a question, did someone manage to install gentoo (or another
flavour of linux) on an old world PowerMac 7600 with an 1 GHZ Sonnet

after booting and I wonder if a self compiled kernel would help.
Thank you,

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 :(

PS: I have posted this mesage already 1 1/2 hours ago but it never
appeared here on my mailserver. Is this a known bug on the list software?
