RE: linux on a 9406-520

Yes, by the time Power6 came out there was no longer an "I" box and a "P"
box.  Power5 still had some of those.  I think some of the Power6 boxes
might have been designated that way too, but you can now change them.

I'm running a Power 6.  I have some Linux partitions that are not guested. 
 I don't remember ordering the drives special.  Could be faulty memory. 
Could be a difference between Power 5 and Power 6?

Thinking of a bare metal install.
