Hi, while trying to upgrade this PowerBook G4 from 4.7-rc7 to 4.8-rc1, it's unable to boot the Yaboot (v1.3.16 from Debian/stable) boot loader:
================================================================ copying OF device tree... Building dt strings... Building dt stucture... Device tree strings 0x01e72000 -> 0x01e73615 Device tree struct 0x01e74000 -> 0x01e7e000 Quiescing Open Firmware... Bootng Linux via __start()...

The config is mostly the same (used "make oldconfig" from 4.7), but I've said YES to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM - could this be causing the boot failure? Full .config and screen shot: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/4.8.0-rc1/ Thanks, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #319: Your computer hasn't been returning all the bits it gets from the Internet.
