I think you forgot to describe the issue you're having (beyond "doesn't work"). Is it just the ROM checksum error? My understanding is that there's also some sort of issue with 64k pages (vs 4k pages). I don't know much about ppc, so I don't know if it's that's an option or hardware-dependent. I believe benh was trying to get it all to work, perhaps he'll have patches when he does. BTW, are you using this as PPC or PPC64? (Is that even an option with PPC?)
