Hi all, I'm glad to hear that there is still some development going on! I browsed a little bit the 2.6.15.7 sources and discovered that the patch for the G3 upgraded PowerBooks hasn't been applied to arch/ppc/ kernel/cpu_setup_6xx.S . I wonder if applying it would help in solving the shutdown issues.
