Bug#353214: linux-2.6: [powerpc] d-i kernel fails to boot on quad powermac (powermac 11, 2)
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: normal
On my new quad powermac, the debian installer kernel fails to boot properly
-- it hangs early in the kernel boot process.
A custom netinstall iso with Linus current git tree works fine (my head is
d89b8f40fca43cab829fea5c0e7d3951db2fb4bd which is this commit:
