It is.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep CONFIG_SYSVIPC /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y

[ Installing the debian linux-image-2.6.12-1-powerpc kernel image
  failed because mkinitrd can't cope with my encrypted root filesystem
  on /dev/loop1. Don't know if it should either. ]

Getting a debian kernel to boot on my machine might prove being
painful. I use a custom initrd with loop-aes-utils encryption I made
before I heard of cryptsetup. I don't know how easy it will be to make
it debian-kernel-compliant again.

Cheers,

Laurent.
