I fixed that in the bitkeeper _2_2 tree, looks like Paulus don't have the
fix. You should not really care since you probably don't need the zImage.
The fix is easy, repalce the definition of loops_per_sec by
loops_per_jiffy in arch/ppc/boot/vreset.c and divide the value by HZ (100).

Hrm.... remind me your hardware ? I'll update my rsync tree from the
latest _2_2 tomorrow, I don't know it Paul's linux-pmac-stable is up-to-
date with bk _2_2.

Also, I don't think the boot protocol USB drivers will do any good for
you, especially if you use ADB-like keymaps. You should probably use the
HID drivers, as those were well tested on macs.
