Can you make a formal bug report against kernel-source-2.6.8 for this problem ? Please add [powerpc] in the subject of the report for classification. > But at the moment 2.6.10-3 is in testing/sarge. Do you want to downgrade? Nope, 2.6.8-11 is in sarge, and 2.6.10-3 stays in sid, and 2.6.8-11 is still our release candidate. your bug report was against 2.6.9 kernels, which are being dropped, which is why Martin contacted you.
