I have the same machine here and for this one I wrote the fcu. So I bet it is not a 'not supported' issue. My bet is the hw. I had issues with my ram. A pair of modules didn't work stable, and I got random segfaults and other panics. Replacing them did help here. - did you already reposition (you have 8 slots) the modules? (I read that you tested the memory, but I would try everything.) - when you play with memory, try also to reduce from 2GB to 1GB in different pair combinations. - did you try to run/install a linux-ppc snapshot? For example a minimal image: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/ppc/autobuilds/current-iso/ Just thoughts. Gruss, Andreas
