Thanks. That neatly identifies the cause of the problem.

For your system /proc/cpuinfo has:
cpu		: RS64-IV (sstar)

And currently we only check for:
   power3|i-star|s-star|power4|power4+|ppc970*|power5|power5+

I have added detection for your system and have also queued that change for 
the next stable point release.

Thanks for reporting the issue and providing the needed info.

Cheers,
FJP
