Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc
Version: 2.6.16-14
Severity: important

quik writes to whatever input-device and output-device are
configured in open firmware.  Unfortunately for many old world macs
(including mine), this defaults to the ttya (/dev/ttyS0) which means
all the user sees is a blank screen, for the timeout and loading period
of quik

The kernel also defaults to the open firmware i/o as the console,
which means that until the system is completely loaded and a login:
prompt appears, all that you see is the penguin logo (assuming no
errors occur during the boot process; if there are errors the machine
will be effectively hung as it waits for input in the serial port).
