G5 support is going to be merged soon into the ufficial kernel. This means it is quite stable and ready to use. From the Linux Kernel Mailing List: From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt To: Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton Cc: Linux Kernel list Subject: PPC64 PowerMac G5 support available Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 16:24:41 +1100 Hi Linus !You can pull from bk://ppc.bkbits.net/for-linus-ppc Curious can inspect the patch using the bkbits web interface If Andrew prefers keeping it into -mm for a while, I can do a bigpatch from the bk tree, though this patch is putting other ppc64 stuffs on hold for now, so it shall go in asap (as it would be too nasty to deal with conflicts if other things went in at this point). Linus: you will probably need an updated radeonfb anyway as I told you. I'll start working on it now and will post a patch separately. Also, there is currently a known build problem with the zImage wrapper in 2.6.3-rc2, unrelated to this patch, it doesn't prevent the build of the plain vmlinux which is what yaboot uses on the G5. Finally, ieee1394 triggers an oops in kobject since 2.6.3-rc2, 100% reproduceable for me (and apparently x86 users too), so that's also unrelated to the G5 code. Ben.
