I've found it scattered in several places throughout the kernel, such as matroxfb.c. 2) Why is it trying to compile and use pmac_support (amongst other pmac_* things). I have it set to the CHRP architecture. 3) Why does pmac_support.c assume that you have ADB stuff compiled in? nvram_read_byte contains: "struct adb_request req". If I have understood correctly, ADB is an Apple thing, and really shouldn't have anything to do with my RS6000. Is this correct? I'm sorry if some of these are silly questions, and hope my ignorance isn't too glaring:-) Thanks, -- David N.
