What is really needed is for confirmation with the current kernels that :1) miboot booting works (or not). 2) bootx booting works (or not). 3) quik booting works (or not).Rick, you have been rather active in this, could i ask you to make a survey with the current 2.6.18 kernels in both etch and testing, and tell us what works and what doesn't. And file a bug report against the kernel packages(linux-2.6, title prefaced [powerpc,oldworld]).
Items 1 and 2 are on my list. I hope to get to them before Friday. Item 3 (quik) is more problematical. I also run MacOS-9 on my OldWorld test machine, and quikis incompatible with that.
I'll look thru the junk box and see if I can find parts to cobble together a "quik" test box, but I'm not guaranteeing anything, and I don't know how long it will take if I do succeed.
To make sure I have it right: Bug reports (or success reports!) should have
Package: linux-2.6 as the first line, and should have Subject: [powerpc,oldworld] in the email headers. Right? Enjoy! Rick
