Can you send me your System.map for that kernel?
The linuxcare.com kernels that Paul keeps have changes that he's not ready
to push into the main tree yet. It's likely you discovered one of the

Hello everybody!
For the first time in my life i saw "mon>".
This happend to me when I tried to delete some files from a hfs partition.
At the bottom of the screen I read "kernel BUG at

Hi,
I'm trying to install debian on a powerbook G4 (titanium).
as the cd is non bootable, I grab the linux kernel and ramdisk.image.gz
from /potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.19-2000-12-03/powermac/
to a mac partition of the disk, wich contains yaboot yaboot.conf (edited
and modified)
