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:
http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d89b8f40fca43cab829fea5c0e7d3951db2fb4bd)

Hi, ...

Since the 2.6.16 release postdates 16 Feb 2006, when the git patch you
mentioned was included in Linus trees, i believe that all the current etch/sid
kernels (2.6.16, 2.6.17 and 2.6.18-rc7) fix this bug.

If you still encounter this problem, please reopen this bug.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
