can you tell me more ? (What machine precisely, what .config etc...) ?

I tested here on two G5's:

 - PowerMac7,3 aka Dual G5 AGP. This ones has U3 + K2 and
uses cascaded MPICs

 - PowerMac11,2 aka Quad G5. This one has U4 + K2 and uses a single MPIC
in the northbridge

And both appear to work fine with today upstream (basically -rc1).

Cheers,
Ben.
