Sven is working to some pegasos support and probably knows better
what is the status.

Default configuration of PPC kernel

I had a look at the default config for the PPC kernel and saw that 
CONFIG_PREEMPT was not set. Me and some friends have tried that together with 
CONFIG_SMP for a while and it seems to work very well. I know that without 
CONFIG_SMP set the computer becomes unstable, but for some reason SMP fixes 
that. Can be a good thing for the future, makes big difference under heavy 
I/O usage.

Bah, next version of the pegasos OF will have yaboot support, but the vmlinuz
files are still usefull as of themselves.

Ubuntu needs to upgrade to mkvmlinuz 13, as present in debian, and
nobootloader needs to be modified to do the mkvmlinuz call and installation.
