[Bug 598059] [NEW] Missing hard disk driver for b/w G3 Mac

[codewarrior]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-powerpc

Ubuntu linux kernels for Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 are missing a driver for
the CMD6xx IDE disk controller found on all blue/white Macintosh G3
machines.  This prevents installation of Ubuntu on these machines from
the standard CD images as no hard disk drive is detected.

Standard Macintosh blue & white (b/w) G3, 256 MB RAM, 5.7 GB IDE disk.

Ubuntu 9.04 is the last version to have the correct hard disk driver.

I have built a custom 2.6.34 kernel and added the missing
CONFIG_PATA_CMD64X config option and this finds the disk controller and
boots OK.
