have had the same experiences, quik-1.3.1 booted 2.2.15, but not the
following newer ones. 

hmm..
a short look at a diff between 2.2.15pre14-stable and 2.2.17pre13-ben2,
regarding arch/ppc/kernel/head.S
convinced me to try a kernel config with this option:

# CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT is not set

and what should I say, quik did it with 2.2.17 :)))

it seems a little bit too easy, don't know the standart dot.config for
debian kernel releases, but perhaps it's not restricted to this machine.


Yours, ce
