I have this pretty nasty problem when trying to boot up a fresh openSuSE DVD on a PowerMac G5: the kernel by default does not have CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM72 enabled, with the effect that the cooling is not functioning. The BIOS on the PowerMac G5 reacts to this by, after a grace period when the BIOS has waited for the OS to take over, increasing the fan speeds so it sounds like an airplane is in the room, and after another grace period simply cutting the power to the machine. This is done not beacuse the cooling is not working, but because the BIOS is not recieving handover of cooling from the OS, so it panics and give up. The problem has been reported by Linux users online. Needless to say, this makes it impossible to install the OS before the machine turns itself off. The g5_defconfig looks like this: CONFIG_PMAC_SMU=y CONFIG_WINDFARM=y CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM81=y CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM91=y CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM112=y CONFIG_WINDFARM_PM121=y Notably PM72 is missing, making the PowerMac G5 fail. The defconfig is not the right place to do this: it should be done by default when selecting Mac support for PPC/PPC64 and especially for the Macs CPUfreq driver. We select SMU by default for PPC_PMAC64, WINDFARM by default on PPC_PMAC and all the WINDFARM thermal managers by default if CPU_FREQ_PMAC64 is selected. I think this will make install images work in the G5 Macs.
