I think that the 2.7 GHz machines need a newer kernel. You might want to
look into the ChangeLog of linux-2.6.12-rc5, I know that there are fixes
for exactly those machines in it. You can then build such kernel and
netboot it. If you can't build one, you can ask in #gentoo-ppc64 on
Freenode.
Greets,
