The 33 bogomips are totally unrelated, it's the timebase frequency. Bogomips are NOT a benchmark and on the powerpc architecture, and not even related to the processor speed at all (but to the frequency of the timebase input). > It seems suspend-to-ram is working to some extend, or at least > 'should' work out-of-the-box.

Also make sure you are using the proper video driver (atyfb on the lombard) and not booting with "novideo" or "video=ofonly". > Furthermore I'm not interested in kexec if 'all is working'.

That is the strange thing... does it reboot fine in MacOS ? > Since you're using more esotoric hardware, I'm afraid it will be quite > difficult without getting your hands very dirty. Ben.
