Speaking as a member of the Gentoo/PPC64 team I'm also curious what
issues you are having...the only open issues that I am aware of have to
do with the recent r7 X.org prereleases...both modular and monolithic.
If that is what you are talking about then yeah there are issues...but
more then likely they are on the X.org side not the kernels. Anything in
the 6.8.2 range (which is what is stable) has been working fine for a
long long time under a pure 64-bit env.
Thanks,
