I have found this message in my mailbox, I can not claim that this
piece of code works or not as I do have no PowerMac. Hope their code
will help in developement.

Go to <ftp://cap.anu.edu.au/pub/linux-pmac/>. On my 7600 (604/120), the 
version of vmlinux in the 'old' folder started booting until swap 
activated, then everything stopped. The new kernel build does not even 
boot.

But reports say that on 601 PCI PowerMacs, it works. Beware that you'll 
probably need a second machine to talk to Open Firmware if you have boot 
problems.
