Sorry, I don't exactly understand your question. Same to what?
I tested the binary package from the Debian Archive. So the kernel
configuration is the same as for all other ppl who tested the same
binary package. I don't know if 2.6.29-1 and 2.6.29-2 have the same
configuration. But the configuration is not the same as the self built
kernels I tested previously.

As several ppl have confirmed that the bug does not exist for them with
custom built kernels and with debian kernels I think we can conclude
that this is not a generl PowerMac bug. It's either specific to
Gerfrieds model or setup.
