What is the point compiling it >for powerpc if it's not working and will probably never ? Don't mix PowerPC and PowerMac. PowerMacs rely on pmud. But PReP and CHRP machines can be more PC-like that you'd like them to in some cases :) They don't really have an apm bios, but who knows... They certainly don't have a PMU and don't use pmud. I've been told there's an IBM PReP thinkpad out there. What does this box use for power management ? It's own mecanism ? ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
