linux-pmac-stable works on the TP, but I need a common config.
David Monroes carolina minidif is needed to access the SCSI disks.

I tried to remove that patch with CAROLINA_IRQ_EDGE_MASK_HI, but it
hangs in the cs4231 detection.

I have another strange problem.
The "bootloader" in produces garbage output, it starts with a few random
bytes and then it fills up the screen with more random bytes. These
garbage goes into /proc/cmdline (its hard to copy&paste :):

0010  ff bc ad 73 ff bc ad 33  fe 3c ad 73 ff 0a


Any ideas how to fix that? Could be a termic problem, the machine runs
here since a few days. And I cant remember that I got this garbage a few
days ago. But typing here at the console works fine.
