Bug#375194: linux-image-2.6.17-1-powerpc: Unable to boot on G3 (Gossamer)
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.17-1
Severity: important
I have troubles with booting the new kernel. The last messages are:
pmac_zilog: Error registering serial device, disabling pmac_zilog.
pmac_zilog: Did another serial driver already claim the minors?
fd0: SWIM3 floppy controller
And it stays so forever. I'm using BootX v1.2.2 with ramdisk size
8192 (increasing it doesn't help). I have issues with the older
kernels as well, that's why I'm stuck with 2.6.8. Is there anything I
could do in order to help you tracing this problem?
