Well, when I boot with the original processor, everything works but with |
| 18 |
the Sonnet card booting hangs. |

Since Sonnet delivers some MacOS drivers with their card could it be |
| 21 |
that linux won't boot at all without some specific drivers? I mean, |
| 22 |
would a linux kernel run on this card "in general" or not? |

The only thing I changed was the processor card :( |
