What is the file 'vmlinux.coff-*' for?
It's junk.
More precisely, COFF is an executable format understood by the
OpenFirmware of some older PowerMac models. Nowadays, most PowerMacs
can boot kernels in ELF file format.

I installed kernel-image-powerpc and now on boot a lot of modules
get loaded that I don't need. F.i. ipv6, ext3, nfsd and ieee1394 -
can I somehow prevent loading of these modules at startup (apart
from deleting them, of course)?
You are probably using hotplug.

I was wondering if somebody could share with me the .config files

This usually means that the driver partitions on the disk are damaged.
Mac OS needs them, Mac OS X has its own way

Does it still boot into the Mac OS on your hard disk? Can

Why is it not present in the official unstable repository?
Being a new package, it has to wait for admission into unstable in the
so-called new queue. This process has to be done manually and takes
rather long at the moment (for example, kernel-source-2.6.7, which

no pmud running for standby reasons.
pmud has a flag for disabling suspension when the lid is closed. Even
more, you can re-enable suspension when the lid is closed *and* the
power supply is unplugged. Very nice.

Is therm_pm72 essential to the installation?
Depends on whether you can stand the noise that results from not
loading it. A lot of people find it unbearable, so the driver is

What depth are you running at in X? 16bpp? If so, you'll have to
go to 8bpp in MacOS, or 15bpp or 24bpp in your X server, because
Apple doesn't support true 16bpp modes - it assumes 15bpp, and
throws the colors way out of whack.
I tried the three depth, but
