For Old World PowerPC Macintosh BootX hangs at the 'MMU:exit' line of the kernel boot for both hd-media and cdrom kernel and initrd images, but the miBoot floppy works. All methods use a variant of 2.6.16-2-powerpc, but the miBoot uses a different .config. For BootX booting, the 2006-03-30 images are the last ones that work. 2006-04-01 was the first use of 2.6.16-1-powerpc kernels and initrds, however, as with the current situation, the miBoot floppies worked (until the abi change, as change over to wouter doing the builds). I didn't detect this situation because I only used BootX for a Beta2 install, and subsequently used the miBoot floppies. The following system information is irrelevant; it's from a completely different machine & architecture, but I leave it because reportbug puts it there. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (50, 'testing'), (7, 'unstable'), (3, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
