Hi. The mailing list drops emails somehow. I can for sure tell that I sent a posting yesterday which never arrived at my webserver: Message-ID: <44E39D98.7040609@fixe-post.de> Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:35:04 +0200 From: Robert Welz <welz@fixe-post.de> User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (X11/20060803) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo on an old PPC with Sonnet dual processor upgrade card References: <44E393C0.2040204@fixe-post.de> <44E39589.1090607@comcast.net> In-Reply-To: <44E39589.1090607@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mike wrote: > Robert Welz wrote: >> 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)?

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 :( Greetings, Robert
