Description Josh Boyer 2008-07-31 19:14:32 UTC
Description of problem:

TerraSoft Solutions is shipping a new PowerPC workstation called PowerStation. 
For the most part, the Fedora kernel just works on this.  There are a couple of
patches that fix some small issues however, namely for fixing things with frame
buffer handling.

I'll attach the patches I've used so far on the F9 kernel.

Comment 3 Josh Boyer 2008-07-31 19:18:36 UTC
The only other change I made was to disable CONFIG_DRM, as the radeon driver
produces oopses at random points.  I won't suggest that in general, as the issue
is being looked at I believe.
