OK, well just for your info, I added an entry in the cputable for rev2.1, identical flags to the 2.0 entry and nothing has changed. Still no cpufreq data, case is still warm all over. I put debug messages in to my pmac_cpufreq.c and I get the following:

Cool will do! I'd be very interested to see any ppc/powermac manuals you may have. I've not been able to find much myself (just instruction reference and stuff from motorola). If you could send me URLs that would great.
