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
Dualprocessor Upgrade card (Crescendo)? The gentoo kernel stuck right
after booting and I wonder if a self compiled kernel would help.
Thank you,
Greetings,
Robert

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.
