Ah ? I have both working here. I use pmac_zilog for serial console
using a stealth serial adapter and nvram works fine so far. What kind

Great !

Note that paulus also noticed that the saved_msr & saved_ee thingy
in the ppc64 signal handling appear to be broken (and makes little

do that later this week.
