Hi,
this is not an answer to your problem, but
http://www.sjdjweis.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic_id=1&topic=RS%2f6000%20Linux
is where folks seem to be having some success.
That link comes from this list: linuxppc-workstation@lists.linuxppc.org, there
you could find other answers too.
Bye.
P.S. To YDL People - Should it be possible to have this and other Linux on PPC
related resources mentioned on the YDL site ? Thanks.
