Ouch :(

OK. My last kernel is also somewhere around here on same hardware.

When doing git bisect I compile from my amd64 machine using:

make O=g4 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- my_defconfig
make -j8 O=g4 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg
scp *image*.deb macminig4:

On Debian simply install:

# apt-get install crossbuild-essential-powerpc
