Pat,
As far as Service Processor Issues, it's hard to say, I personally haven't see
any. As long as Open Firmware starts things up and hands it off to Linux at boot
time then there shouldn't be really much of any issue. The 260 for instance has
an SP in it... hasn't given me any troubles yet.
Regards,
Tom
