Hello all, Thanks to the great job of Jeff Bailey and Matthias Klose, who provided a set of gcc-3.4/glibc-2.3.5 based biarch toolchain, i have managed to build a first ppc64 kernel package, which is available at :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/ppc64 Altough obviously untested, as i don't have a ppc64 box, it should install over a normal sarge system, and run on all ppc64 boxes, from power3 RS6K ones to newer iseries, passing by all apple G5 macs, except for the older pre-power5 iseries. It is built without power4 optimization and in SMP mode only for now, since i want to get this flavour tested and investigated before multiplicating the different kernel images. This kernel is *not* yet for production, since at least it will want a 64bit compiled procutils, to take care of 64bit process ids in /proc. Future plans include integrating these kernels in etch, once the biarch toolchain makes it to it, and working on a ppc64 d-i, but first please test this kernel on as much as possible 64bit powerpc machines, and provide feedback to me.
