Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-powerpc
Version: 2.6.16-17
Severity: important

I wanted to upgrade from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16, but this kernel seems to be unbootable for my 
oldworld G3. The kernel just writes a welcome-message, writes strange green signs on the 
top of the screen and freezes. Because quik doesn't seem to work on the beige G3, I'm 
forced to use the bootx-extension for MacOS - Maybe it has sth. to do with this?
