Thanks Luke for the quick reply and the pointers... Indeed in the "thermal" hook of initramfs, the following snippet adds the thermal modules to the initrd and pushes a bunch of modules for any powerpc arch:
case "$DPKG_ARCH" in # copy the right modules powerpc|ppc64) force_load therm_pm72 force_load windfarm_core force_load windfarm_cpufreq_clamp force_load windfarm_lm75_sensor force_load windfarm_max6690_sensor force_load windfarm_pid force_load windfarm_pm112 force_load windfarm_pm81 force_load windfarm_pm91 force_load windfarm_smu_controls force_load windfarm_smu_sat force_load windfarm_smu_sensors force_load i2c-powermac ;; i386|amd64|ia64|lpia) force_load fan force_load thermal ;; esac Now how to split this check between PS3 and Apple hardware... I will look at other scripts / hooks.
