1.4 went broken when apple published broken firmware, incompatible with |

the kernel |

2004.0 was broken because upstream ppc kernels were broken. (2.6.5 |
| 13 |
finally fixed it). |

Genkernel works ok for catalyst. But the initrd complicates things for |
| 32 |
users just trying to build a working kernel for a new install. |
