POWER6 support
We learned that the 2007.0 media was built with a kernel version new enough that it should work with POWER6 systems. We were then lucky enough to get a report from someone that it did in fact boot fine on POWER6. That said, if anyone is lucky enough to have one of those machines and has more feedback, it would be welcome.
I also checked POWER6 profiles into the tree last week with the idea to create stages. Unfortunately it seems we have a compilation issue with the power6 optimizations. I'm getting an illegal instruction problem with awk in the stage building.

Hey Brent we just received our power6 boxes a couple weeks ago. Myself and one of our Unix admins are interested in installing a Linux LPAR for testing before these systems go into production. Id rather not use SUSE and am partial to gentoo anyways which is how I stumbled on this thread. I could offer some feedback on the 2007.0 profile and try and work out the build errors albeit with the limited knowledge that I possess when it comes to debugging code.
