I am trying to install ppc-sources-2.4.24.  When I run make dep && make clean vmlinux modules modules_install, I get the following error message:

pmac_nvram.c:531: `pmu_nvram_read_byte' undeclared (first use in this function)
pmac_nvram.c:531: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pmac_nvram.c:531: for each function it appears in.)
pmac_nvram.c:532: `pmu_nvram_write_byte' undeclared (first use in this function)

Sorry you had to use google to figure it out. We've been really slammed lately. (I personally have a brand new job..ugh. heh) Glad to hear that you got it working.
