Sadly, no one ever followed up on this bug report. I really don't know why your system is marking it as "Needs info" when I added comments back in September. In any event, the problem is now, FINALLY AFTER 6 MONTHS, solved with the introduction of your kernel 2.6.15-27-powerpc. This kernel boots my machine without hanging, as all those between 2.6.12-10-powerpc and 2.6.15-27-powerpc (non-inclusive) did. Yeah! I still love Ubuntu! (Too bad the bug tracking software you're using sucks.)
So now, this bug can be closed. I wonder how long that will take... :-) /Mike -- 2.6.15-xx ppc kernel fails to boot on G4 https://launchpad.net/bugs/50813 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
