It is not the ramdisk but the kernel. We shipped the 1.1 kernel with 1.2
for RS6000 just to include a kernel period. (since the 1.1 kernel was the
last one we were able to build working on RS/6000).
SuSE magically has a 2.2.14 RS/6000 kernel that work for us on our F50 and
B50. Their kernel source can not be found on their ftp site so they are
probably holding back important patches to the kernel to fix RS6k support.
Even the good folks at IBM are having the problems we are.
