Sounds rather like screen blanking doesn't work quite right, or switching
from X to text console has problems. Since that only happens on shutdown,
I'd disregard it (similar stuff happens with rivafb in 2.4 and 2.4, and it
doesn't hurt).

Well, the right place to ask about powermac kernel bugs would have been
linuxppc-dev, then. We're still answering most of the kernel related stuff
here, anyway.
