Hey everyone,

I noticed a strange issue with a PowerBook G4 (PowerMac5,8) and 5.3.
When it boots the generic kernel (including bsd.rd) it will get to the
line:

"timer" at macobio0 offset 0x15000 not...

and then shutoff.

I tried disabling a few different devices (macobio, macgpio, etc)
without any luck. I finally booted it up in verbose mode and noticed
immediately before the crash the kernel was probing ADB, after
disabling that it boots just fine.

So to boot the cd, I interrupted the boot> prompt with:

/5.3/macppc/bsd.rd -c

in the UKC>

disable adb
exit

Hope that helps someone stuck in the same place,

-John
