My second compile attempt, 2.5.75 also failed, in arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cpufreq.o I'm not shure that the given .config is a good one, but I somewhat used to compile kernels (since the 2.0.x days..) and it seems very similar to my 2.4.x configs.. Just trying to help bug squashing the kernel. Miguel Sousa Filipe
