The driver in current upstream does contain some support for the Xserve
G5. Fans that aren't properly driven (like the slot bay) are left to
moderately high speed. So far, I didn't have report of problems from
people using that code. I don't remember if it was in 2.6.11 already
though, so you may want to wait 2.6.12. Your 2.6.8 is rather outdated
for ppc64 ...
