Please can you try using the 2.6 kernels on your hardware, and see if that
works. For the PowerStack E i had hand down access at Oldenbourg, it refused
to boot 2.6 kernels.

As powerpc is standardizing on 2.6 kernels, it would be nice to know more
about these problems, and to know if the 2.6 kernel is there or not.

In the meantime, i will try to have a look at your problem next week, and
maybe make a new upload then.
