Hi petr, ...
Thanks you for following this, i was going to contact you this WE, but i guess
we could as well just start on this right now.
Roberto, could you try to get more info to Petr concerning this problem, and
try 2.6.15 too ?
Petr, notice that this box is a Power4 box, so on top of it being bigendian,
it is also a 64bit cpu, which may mean other worries.

Ah, good, Roberto, more reason for you to test this.
