Package: kernel-image-2.6-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18+5
during working on another bug, I tried to install the daily d-i build:
cdimage.d.o:/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20070103-2/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
on an IBM RS/6000 43p 150. This is a CHRP system, so I used the CHRP-initrd
image and tried to netboot it (serial console):

As you can see, the image is loaded just fine.

-----------------------client boot log---------------------------------
Booting just stops here, nothing is displayed on the front LED.
As this box has a video card inside, I tried booting over the graphical
console, too. There it stops dead after the line:
coming back from prom_init
Booting from CD isn't working at all, stops with a front LED error display
of 185 - which can be anything.
Most likely, this bug can't be resolved before etch, but I thought I should
report it nonetheless,
HTH,
Uli
