PPC discs do not support G5 thermal

[ScottMiller]

The kernel images on the PPC disc do not have any thermal support for G5 machines enabled. The kernels need to be compiled with a g5_defconfig, plus other options such as broadcom, and other wireless support to be usable for the end user.

The only option now for G5 users is to install via the alternative CD (with fans running wide open 100%), and fetch a recent kernel from kernel.org to compile correctly.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
