Hi Derick, Thanks a lot again :) The package I meant is named kernel-source-2.6.23-9.ydl6.1.ppc64.rpm . It gets extracted but I was not able to compile kernel because of missing deps. I have reinstalled YDL and selected Devlopment packages there and finally I was able to compile my kernel! I have compiled it with g5_defconfig and modified some of its configuartions and finally it works a little faster and thermal support works as expected! I can't say thank you enough :) Good Luck
