looking at the build_powerpc64_netboot64.log files of the previous
versions, the last kernel was 2.6.15-1 which has the sbp2 bug.
That was from the image 2006-03-29.
The next kernel is 2.6.16-1 in the image from 2006-04-04, and it is
still the image used in the most recent mini.iso.

I don't remember, other than it was early March and kernel 2.6.15-1.
