That applies mostly for PowerPC 603 (and the [e,ev] variants) processors.
If your processor is not one of these, I'd ask what boot method you're
using.
If you use BootX, you need make sure that the kernel you have in your
/boot directory in the Linux side is the same as that you have in your
"System Folder:Linux Kernels" in the MacOS side. Also, make sure to
select it from the pop-up menu in the BootX dialog box. If everything
works ok, then you'd probably be better off clicking the "save to prefs"
button of BootX after you select the proper kernel during the next boot.
Hope this actually solves your problem. Maybe it's too basic for you, but
even the most advanced users sometimes forget about basic things. :-P
