Someone suggested (off-list) that you should remove any expansion cards,

E.g. Linux doesn't have support for the WGS 95 PDS card fitted to some
Quadra 950 machines (unfortunately). But if that was your problem, I'd
expect 2.6.29 would not boot either.

Yeah, there's nothing installed in any of the machines. Judging by software left on the drive, the previous owner must have kept the FWB Jackhammer cards. Been meaning to email and inquire as to what his plans are for them.

Where did you find the 2.6.29 kernel binary? If it is a mainline kernel,
we may be able to solve this with git bisection.
