I am not able to give you a direct answer, but if this can be useful, I'm running a Cube (Dec. 2000) with 4.1.9f1 BootROM built on 09/14/01 (as from /proc/device-tree/rom/boot-rom/model) on a patched 7.0 SuSE Linux system.
(Actually I first installed 7.0, thanks to Olaf for guiding me through this tricky assignment, and afterwards upgraded to the new firmware, without causing any harm to my linux system.)
The doc on http://www.suse.com/us/products/suse_linux/ppc/system_requirements.html is really cryptic, if not wrong at all! Does it make any sense to release in Nov. 2001 SuSE 7.3 with support only for the pre-Dec. 2000 machines?
I think we should at least increase that to the spring 2001 Powerbooks and ibooks. G4 with nvidia cards are still problematic, the nvidia card might not work correctly, only via openfirmware framebuffer. But running it as server should be no problem. The very new ibook and powerbook need a newer kernel, I prepared a boot iso image, it should be appear on the ftp server tomorrow, have to test it first. check http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/history.html Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
