Hi! After an upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.17 on my Mac Mini, two things stopped working:
1) Upon
Code:
shutdown -r now

i get a message that it's OK to turn off the power, but no reboot happens.
2) I can't find a valid configuration to get a working real time clock, so that updating system time on boot fails and my box thinks it's the year 1970. With the arrival of the new RTC kernel subsystem, the SENSORS_RTC8564 driver was replaced by RTC_DRV_PCF8563. For about two weeks now I've been trying various combinations of kernel settings with no avail. Either no /dev/misc/rtc isn't created or it is not functional.

You wouldn't happen to have a working .config-2.6.17 for Mac Mini (or G4 PowerBook) lying around? Anyone?

Here's mine. I didn't change anything with regards to rtc compared to earlier kernels. Works for me.
