ok.

All you need for a macppc kernel is arch/macppc and arch/powerpc - 
plenty of files were moved, added or deleted so you better clean out 
OBJ and such.

Hmm, no such problems here.

Not really.

Not without some hacking - macppc relies on the firmware to tell it 
what's the console.

I found something very strange - I get gem timeouts with the snapper 
driver removed but it works fine when snapper attaches. No idea why 
exactly, the driver doesn't touch any of uninorth's power or clock 
enable registers as far as I can see, only enables the i2s clock which 
is part of mac-io and shouldn't have anything to do with gem. Will 
investigate further.

have fun
Michael
