Problems with 2.6.x

[Alex Eiser <alexe@ed.ca>]

I have been having lots of difficulty trying to move from benh-2.4.23 
to 2.6

I have tried compiling from the kernel.org source as well as with the 
benh 2.5-2.6 source.

In all cases, the kernel will compile using the make-kpkg command, 
installation works normally as well. However on boot the following 
screen is displayed

Welcome to Linux, kernel 2..6.1-ben1
Linked at : 0c0000000
frame buffer at : 0x9c008000 (phys), 0xd0008000 (log)

pmac_init(): exit

MMU:setio
MMU:exit
xmon uses modem port
setup_arch:enter
setup_arch bootmem
arch: exit
openpic:enter
openpic:timer
openpic:external
openpic: exit

No other actions occur. After several minutes the machine will 
automatically reboot.
I have tried everything I can think off with no success.  Does any one 
have any ideas?

Machine:
Power Mac g4 windtunnel rev 2.
1.2 Ghz DP (SMP disabled in config)

If needed I can upload my kernel compile config. I used the standard 
settings with the exception of enabling bluetooth. (required for my 
work)

Help!

Alex
