Your email is archived in the list archives, and it does appear to be the
same bug. I gather that you tested vmlinuz-2.6.29-1-11 at the time.
I don't know which version you are using at present, but the latest deb is
probably this one (?)
http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-m68k/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.29-2-mac_2.6.29-5_m68k.deb
which is dated 19th May, so it seems to be older than the bug fix.
2.6.30 appears to have the necessary patches. If you want to test the
current mainline kernel, I can build one for you.
