Sven, I just grabbed your 2.4.20-4 pmac build and I've rebooted and it's fine.
Two things that seem different from previous kernel upgrades (I could just have missed these before): It didn't automatically create the symbolic link from /vmlinux -> /boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-powerpc It left my old link as it was and I made the changes by hand. and I've also found this in /boot/ for the first time: vmlinux.coff-2.4.20-powerpc What is it? Anyway, thanks for correcting the problem so quickly.
