Probably, don't know.
And I've just discovered a third issue:
3) CPU: I can't use cpufreq, /proc/cpuinfo says:
processor : 0
cpu : 7447A, altivec supported
clock : 1499MHz
revision : 1.2 (pvr 8003 0102)
bogomips : 747.52
machine : PowerBook6,8
motherboard : PowerBook6,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
detected as : 287 (Unknown Intrepid-based)
pmac flags : 00000008
L2 cache : 512K unified
Hope this will be updated soon in the kernel, meanwhile we have a 750Mhz
G4 :(
