Re: Anyone able to build Joe's mol-0.9.71_pre6 on ubuntu?

To serve as a quick solution in cases like this, I invite anyone to  
submit a mol kernel patch (if applicable) and corresponding config  
file to be built by the ppckernel autobuilder at http:// 
ppckernel.org.  The PowerPC Kernel Archives supply up-to-date builds  
of the vanilla kernel source trees in addition to specialized kernels  
for various hardware and software configurations.  For more info or  
to submit a patch/config combo, send me an e-mail.
