        Try some of the 'BenH' kernels. They should be available from
[something].apple.com/~benh/ (just look for the link on the YDL web
site). You also might want to try some older kernels (2.2.15 works great
on my PowerBook G3/300/DVD [Main Street], as well as our company's G4
servers [400/AGP]).

        Whatever you do, don't do that! YDL is probably the most advanced
(IMHO) PPC Linux Distribution, and I therefore highly doubt you'll get
better hardware support.

        Good luck.
