Version: 1:2.6.1-12
Severity: important


On powerpc subarches who don't have pmu support (everything except pmacs or
even possibly newworld pmacs), there is no /dev/pmu device. Particluarly when
using a 2.6 kernel (default on powerpc) with udev.

In debian/patches/08_pmu_fix.patch, there is ade which displays a error
message in this case, which should be removed, or better yet check for
subarches posssesing a pmu device. 

mkvmlinuz distinguishes such machines in shell by :

	case $(grep ^pmac-generation /proc/cpuinfo) in
		*NewWorld) arch=pmac ;;
		*OldWorld) arch=coff ;;
	esac

So, this could be done in a similar way.

It would be really nice if this would be fixed before the 'imminent' sarge
freeze, as it is really annoying.
