I have found the stock 2.4.x kernel comes and goes as to whether or not it
works with PPC. I have had best results syncing up with the bitkeeper
respository at fsmlabs (Paul's webpage has a reference to it). It seems to
have the pmac support in it now, and it usually works.
I have found the 2.4.0 kernels sometimes don't even build for ppc, and
sometimes panic on boot.
My only stopper for 2.4 full time is Mol.
