I'm no expert but I believe this particular problem is more dependent on
the machine your using. I haven't heard of anyone having the GENERICSBC-26
problem/solution who wasn't using an LCIII/P46x. If I'm wrong someone
please correct me. I'm not sure where the LC's and Performa's meet when it
comes to the Performa 475 but I know it is a very different machine from
an LCIII.  But then again if it was being caused by a particular
distribution it should be easier to fix :)
