Please add "earlyprintk" to the kernel parameters in Penguin. I suspect that this hang happens because the bootloader doesn't disable slot interrupts. So you may sometimes see this hang if you first boot into MacOS with the ethernet card enabled and then boot into Linux using Penguin. You should not see this problem with Emile. Also, you should not see this problem if you boot MacOS without bringing up an ethernet driver (e.g. restart holding down shift key). > but then it booted successfully twice after that.

Obviously Debian configures their kernels differently than I do.

Debian uses systemd and doesn't need init scripts, which is why you don't see any messages from those scripts. > > Is ADB any less stable with 4.1.18 than in Debian 3.1? (I never noticed > any issues with it there, though I also never used the mouse). In general, ADB works fine (on m68k and powerpc). Regarding the LC III, AFAIK, the Egret driver has always been unstable but YMMV. Having seen the code, I no longer take an interest in old v2.x kernels. > > Would it make sense to try using the 4.1.18 kernel with my old Debian > 3.1 filesystems?

If you boot the old Debian 3.1 using a recent kernel then you won't be able to log in at the console, because the ADB keycodes were changed sometime after the v2.2 kernel. (I'm thinking of the IIfx, which does not need the Egret driver.) -- > > thanks > > -Stan > >
