Noticed that i was going to fix this a an hour or so ago, but since someone
took my commit right away, it is now your responsability to fix it.

prep is useless on 2.6.16 anyway, since the arch=ppc -> arch=powerpc fix broke
it, so it can be done without. For the rest, the mkvmlinuz and 2.6.16 stuff i
did last week should allow you to build not only a kernel with builtin initrd
for 32bit chrp but also for 64bit, as some guys asked for a few month ago.
Still, i don't understand why svn commit access was taken away from me, and i
don't see any technical reason for this having happened, since i never misused
it, and even when you took over, i did my best to help you as best i could,
and gave you all the information i had.
