Bug#375422: Boot failure with kernel 2.6.15 on G4

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

Package: debian-installer


I just attempted to install the debian powerpc daily businesscard iso  
from June 24 on my OldWorld beige G3 test machine, and got the same  
error.

There's been some discussion of a set of patches that prevented this  
but got dropped from the 2.6.15 kernel.  Is anybody looking at  
retrofitting them back in?
