Mmm, notice that i only maintain the sid packages, Dan still handles the
older woody ones.

Ok, just curious, but you are clearly a chrp user, and i would like to
know what kernel you are using, and from what source you take it (self
compiled kernel, self built package, unofficial or official debian
package).

I have no idea about this, but i could investigate. My chrp derivative
pegasos box has no floppy disk, so i cannot easily test it though.

But i will investigate, and later on, once i have familiarized me more
with the current status, i hope to build more kernel images that the
powerpc and powerpc-smp that are the ones built right now.
