Re: 2.4.18 SMP custom kernel woes

[Gordon Grant <gordon.grant@babcockbrown.com>]

The same bug also happens with a clean 2.4.18 kernel-source tree, 
without applying the bitkeeper patches.  Cold-booting the G4 causes it 
to hang on the ide driver, but *if* I boot MacOS from OF, then aferwards 
Linux will boot fine.
