I think you were on the right track. I have a similar setup: a Sonnet G3/375 in an 8500. I use Powerlogix's utilities to set the CPU:cache ratio on boot up. The Powerlogix extension loads before the BootX extension, so I do nothing with the G3 settings in BootX. Under Linux, a check of /proc/cpu/l2cr (or something similar) shows the cache is activated and running. Try that and see ...
