Ok, but could you perhaps spawn a new bug report against the 2.6.x
packages ? And try agaion with both 2.6.6 and 2.6.7 when it escapes NEW.
Despite all its knoweldge and everything, our designed powerpc kernel
expert, Christoph, clearly said he doesn't care for 2.4 bug reports, so
it is better to have those that occur in both 2.4 and 2.6 also listed
against 2.6 packages.

2.6.7 alsa is better than the 2.6.6 one. in 2.6.6 sleep was broken on my
ibook by also, while it works on 2.6.7 at least.
