On my ppc32 (G3 PowerMac) 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 throws a large number of
"Badness in schedule" during boot. Below are the ones I managed
to capture: they contain both generic traces, and traces involving
Mac-only drivers.

Some of the traces involve the PDC202XX_NEW driver; I'll move that
card into an x86 PC tomorrow to see if the traces reappear or not;
if they don't then it does look like a PPC32-specific problem.

The kernel .config is SMP=n, PREEMPT=n, no debugging nonsense :-)
