I have an iMac iSight with a 2.1 GHz PowerPC 970fx (G5) processor, that
boots fine with the latest ppc64 kernel.

The PowerMac system we have internally was not able to recreate this.
To narrow down the issue - is that a PCI/PCI-X (7,3 [1]) or PCIe G5
(11,2 [1]) ?
Single, dual or quad ?
Same question to anyone else with a G5 / PPC970 - what is it and does
it boot recent PPC64 Linux kernel ?
Christian from the original report has a quad, like me (so
powermac11,2).
There was also a report of a powermac7.3 working in the original
discussion,
single or dual unspecified.
So this might be a Quad thing, or a more general 11,2 thing...
At this point, I am not sure what would cause the Machine check with
that patch series because we have not changed the VA bits in that
patch.
Any test I could run that would help you tracking the bug ?
Cordially,
Romain
