One more problem.. no himem support. It only uses 512MB of the 2048MB Installed on the POWER3 SP node I've got it booted on. What kernel version, and gcc toolchain did you use for this? I'm not sure if it's a gcc or kernel source trouble, but when I try compiling the "2.4.24 with debian patches" I apt-get source'd with gcc-3.3 and -3.2 in testing, I get some 'unknown opcode' errors, which either are asm in the kernel files that is wrong, or gcc problems.
