Bug#614221: 2.6.37-1-powerpc does not but on iMac G3

[Ivan Vilata i Balaguer <ivan@selidor.net>]

Package: linux-2.6
Severity: normal


I'm experiencing the same problem in my iBook G4 with an ATI Radeon Mobility
9200.  After running the bootloader (tried both Yaboot and GRUB2, single or
multiuser), some text messages appear and the screen is clared a couple of
times.  The following text is printed in white over black lines on a white
screen:

setup_arch: bootmem
arch: exit

Two more empty black lines and the system gets stuck in there, rebooting
itself after a couple of minutes.  In a normal boot (Squeeze/Sid 2.6.32), the
screen used to be cleared black and the penguin logo appeared.  With 2.6.37 it
does't reach this point.

Thanks
