Which kernel ? Linus 2.4.13 or one of the PPC bk trees ?

I've been using 2.4.13 from bk _devel on a dual G4 for some
time now, it just worked. I'm away from my dev. machines for
a few days, but I'll look into this problem as soon as I'm
back.

gcc 3.0.2 isn't ready for ppc kernel compiles afaik. I'm
personally still using 2.95.4 from debian "sid".
