Boot failure with kernel 2.6.16 on G3 (Gossamer)
[I hope this is the right list.]
I have a G3 (Gossamer) running sid, which hasn't been updated for
fairly long time. I installed linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc, but it
fails to boot. I tried the last few versions (9-12). I see the
initial message
Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.6.16-1-powerpc

and it stays forever. I use BootX 1.2.2, if it matters, ramdisk size
8192. I copy vmlinux-2.6.16-1-powerpc and initrd.img-2.6.16-powerpc
to the MuckOS partition and point to them, as usual. My current
kernel is 2.6.8 and it boots fine.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
