These are the right ones, notice they end in x though, not z. > and, yes, I'm booting via with yaboot. I'm really stumped on why this > kernel is not booting my machine when it works for Daniel (who also > has a PowerMac7,3). Am I missing something obvious? So, what are you really booting ? Did you run ybin and such, did you try the stuff Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested to Paul's bug report (#323724) ? Have a look at : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323724 Maybe you could try : set panic_timeout in the yaboot kernel options as Bastian suggested before though Also, please write to bug report #323724 in futur, and not to the mailing list.
