I think that the 2.7 GHz machines need a newer kernel. You might want to |
| 12 |
look into the ChangeLog of linux-2.6.12-rc5, I know that there are fixes |
| 13 |
for exactly those machines in it. You can then build such kernel and |
| 14 |
netboot it. If you can't build one, you can ask in #gentoo-ppc64 on |
| 15 |
Freenode. |
