The Newertech card only allows adjustment of the backside cache
multiplier...No bus speed adjustments are allowed on my 6400 with the
PowerLogix G3/G4 software. I am not sure if we are proceeding on the
right track here. It is quite frustrating...The last L2 card that I had
was the Vimage and it worked NP under YDL 2.3 as it did a soft boot to
enable the G3 processor....I guess from tehre on in YDL saw it as a
G3....So it did the soft boot, and then went to BootX. The Newer relies
on the extension to enable it, but there is no soft boot. Set G3 cache
is not available under BootX either. Grab G3 cache setting does not
work either claiming that there is no G3 installed. I think that is
meant for teh PCI based upgrades.
<sigh>I just wanted to run Linux...and a nice server. The 6400 is a
dead end...No X, no Linux...
Any other ideas?
