Bug Description
Missing cmd64x driver in kernel-tree for PPC arch.
Without this kernel modul you can not start up hard discs on blue&white G3 Mac PowerPC.
I made workaround and describe problem in this post:
http://
Please, can you include cmd64x driver in kernel-tree of next ubuntu release (10.04) (it exist in kernel source code but it isn't compiled)
As a digression, in kernel source exist pata_cmd64x driver too, which works well, but problem is that pata_cmd64x is in naming drives as SCSI devices (/dev/sdx) and this naming nomenclature confusing yaboot and PPC can not be booted after install Ubuntu.
From other side, cmd64x driver naming devices as standard IDE (/dev/hdx) what do not confuse yaboot!
