Do you mean during this particular install? What version of kernel is
this? Does dmesg show anything interesting?
It -should- be 2.2.18pre21, and it should be the same as what you get
from the kernel-image-2.2.18pre21-pmac package.
My guess: How are you booting? From a previous linux install attempt,
perhaps? You must not be getting the kernel that the CD gave you.
Make sure to run mkofboot or ybin before rebooting (see the
installation instructions, this is underdocumented).
