PPC: Which PowerPC computers are supported by SuSE Linux?

Problem:

You have a PowerPC and would like to install SuSE Linux. The following list tells you which particular PowerPCs are currently supported or known to work, respectively.

At this time, there are many manufacturers who use PowerPC processors. Not every computer is supported just because the processor is supported, however, the entire architecture of the machine must work as a whole.

Solution:

Basically, every computer with a PCI bus should work.
We know that at least the following machines work/don't work:

Apple

- Supported:

- Not supported:

Umax Macintosh clones

- Supported

- Status unknown

IBM RS/6000

- Supported

- Not supported - Status unknown

Amiga APUS systems

- due to the lack of Linux kernel support we cannot provide support for these systems.

Further information about supported PowerPC machines can be found at http://www.linuxppc.com/about/hardware/. However, those computers have not been tested by SuSE and often need a specially patched Linux kernel.
Every machine tested by SuSE will be explicitly named here in this list.
