strange, it worked for me on a powermac g5. isn't it one of these
uninorth one?

Sven, a few questions, sorry they all came in a row :-)

- could you enable GONFIG_PM72 in the -pseries so powermac can have fan
  support? (it seems Arnór's xserve uses something else then)

- no kernel-headers-2.6.11-power{3,4}{,-smp} in unstable?

- how do i compile a 64bit kernel using a 32 bit kernel? (i could
  compile using your pseries kernel and in a ppc64 chroot)

thanks, piem
