Bug#379218: linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc: Can't boot with bootx on a beige G3 (oldworld)
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: important
I wanted to upgrade from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16, but this kernel seems to be unbootable for my
oldworld G3. The kernel just writes a welcome-message, writes strange green signs on the
top of the screen and freezes. Because quik doesn't seem to work on the beige G3, I'm
forced to use the bootx-extension for MacOS - Maybe it has sth. to do with this?
