i managed to install sarge on the system and i could do a more fine grained research. i can now boot fine the machine with kernel-image-2.6.8-power3-smp version 2.6.8-6. if i use kernel-image-2.6.8-power3 version 2.6.8-6 i get problem with the symbios controller. i attached the full log of the UP kernel and a piece of the log of the working SMP kernel. > since i had the chance to go on a bit with the hardware detection process > before loading the SCSI driver, i noticed that the IDE interface fails > claiming irq problems, as well. this happens with both kernels and it is apparently unrelated. cheers, alessandro --- full log for power3 --- Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13 Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: Linux Please wait, loading kernel...
