Ok, thanks, good to know. I don't know about fan control, BenH, can you say something about this ? I will have a look at the code also this WE. > there are quite a few differences comparing to the -power4-smp config. > is it normal that CONFIG_ADB, CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC, CONFIG_SND_POWERMAC These refused to compile, so i disabled it, needs fixing, now that i have a success report about this. > and CONFIG_SND_BIT32_EMUL are not set? Same here, i think. Mmm, will need to investigate this, maybe i just missed it, since i took the power4 config as basis, and this one obviously didn't need this. > the early_printk option seems to work, but doesn't look very nice, as > the black lines are drawn on top of the OF gray screen. it gets better > when the logos appear.
