For future reference, I have a "Evergreen" type but I require PALM_* firmware. I just upgraded to kernel version 3.14.4 and I was able to get it booting OK, albeit a delay in startup by about 60 seconds and no penguins :-(. X won't allow by to go above 1024x768, so I think I will have to create a custom file to fix that. Thank you, Douglas R. Reno
