Public bug reported:

Missing cmd64x driver in kernel-tree for PPC arch.

Without this kernel modul you can not start up hard discs on blue&white G3 Mac 
PowerPC.
I made workaround and describe problem in this post:
http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8731226&postcount=27

Please, can you include cmd64x driver in kernel-tree of next ubuntu
release (10.04) (it exist in kernel source code but it isn't compiled)

As a digression, in kernel source exist pata_cmd64x driver too, which
works well, but problem is that pata_cmd64x is in naming drives as SCSI
devices (/dev/sdx) and this naming nomenclature confusing yaboot and PPC
can not be booted after install Ubuntu.

>From other side, cmd64x driver naming devices as standard IDE (/dev/hdx)
what do not confuse yaboot!
