601 vs head.S

[Brad Midgley]

my quest is for a kernel that boots both on the 7200 and the imac. help me
out and i'll give you a free ppc601 card :)

i dug out my old 601 processor and verified that recent samba rsync
kernels won't boot on it. but the patch i have doesn't really help (it
only allows a few more lines of text to be printed before the inevitable
hang). does anyone have a patch that will make paul's kernel work on the
ppc601? 

without patch: 

Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.2.1
<hang>

with patch:

Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.2.1

(here's the patch i have)
