Bug#144245: boot-floppies: BF chrp kernel fails on IBM RS/6000 B50 powerpc
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.22
Severity: normal
Hi!
First of all it would be good that the B50 machine is tagged as a chrp
machine and not as a prep machine on the Boot Floppies doc.
This is the log of trying to boot a B50 machine with the kernel from Boot
Floppies 3.0.22 using the chrp kernel, as you can see if fails:

This continues with similar messages till you reboot it, the machine never
gets rebooted by itself.
I have booted the machine with other kernel and is now almost installed,
maybe I can help in testing or even compiling kernels for this kind of
machines. Don't know if this problem is extensive for other chrp machines.
Hope this helps.
Regards...
