For Old World PowerPC Macintosh BootX hangs at the 'MMU:exit' line of
the kernel boot for both hd-media and cdrom kernel and initrd images,
but the miBoot floppy works.  All methods use a variant of
2.6.16-2-powerpc, but the miBoot uses a different .config.

For BootX booting, the 2006-03-30 images are the last ones that
work.  2006-04-01 was the first use of 2.6.16-1-powerpc kernels and
initrds, however, as with the current situation, the miBoot floppies
worked (until the abi change, as change over to wouter doing the builds).

I didn't detect this situation because I only used BootX for a Beta2
install, and subsequently used the miBoot floppies.





The following system information is irrelevant; it's from a completely
different machine & architecture, but I leave it because reportbug
puts it there.
