Later kernels, namely 2.6.15.x, support my controller, but i have some
problems compiling them.
I don't have a ppc machine with linux on it and cross compiling on my
intel machines doesn't work (gcc too new or binutils too old).
Can someone please compile a new kernel for me? I already have a minimal
configuration (http://gufo.dontexist.org/files/config.gz) for 2.6.15.4
but i can't test it.
If someone will be so kind to compile a kernel for me i'll be able to
create a new iso and see if the system installs from there.
FWIW ubuntu-unstable stuck at boot time after probing and recognising
usb devices...maybe booting from a live system and installing in a
chrooted environment as Marco suggested me is a good way of proceding,
but i can't find a linux system able to boot at the moment :-(
Suggestions are wellcome!
TIA,
Gufo
