Interesting notes: init=/bin/sh DOES get me to a shell! And everything works fine.
HOWEVER: Booting WITHOUT init=/bin/sh (even with the 601 bug thingy turned on, which I really doubted would solve the problem anyhow), I get the same problem... oh, and for some reason the keyboard is also screwed up. Instead of: qwertyuiop I get: -=\=/ wqdgsh No kidding. The last things I see on the screen when I get the problem are: (And yes I am having to TYPE this stuff by hand, since the system is hard-locked): (At the top, it scans for and finds the hard drive and CD-ROM drive).... then: Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST32171N Rev: 0484 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: YAMAHA Model: CRW4416S Rev: 1.0f Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 4223444 512-byte hdwr secotrs (2162MB) Partition check: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: [mac] p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 16x/16x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 dmasound_pmac: Awacs/Screamer Codec Mfct: 1 Rev 2 DMA sound driver: Interrupt initialization failed Macintosh non-volatile memory driver v1.0 NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0 IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 8192 bind 8192) NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
