What about 3.9.16 ? it is publicly available, and does run on powerpc, at least
i think so (3.9.Px did for me). I think it has some compile problems though, so
you will have to configure the emux86 stuff out. Not sure it is needed anyway,
and was tested only on i386 (pretty stupid to have a i386 bios emulator that
only works on i386 i think, but then i know nothing of this stuff.)

So is the Rqge 128 driver stuff already in 3.9.16 ?
