For what it's worth, here is the kernel I have running on an up-to-

Hope it helps!
It does indeed - I just looked closer in /boot, and among all the
other files in there (yes, I should tidy :) is a vmlinux-2.6.8-3
kernel dated May 25th, as well as the vmlinuz-2.6.8-3 kernel dated
today. Could you do an ls -l on your boot and let me know what
date's on your vmlinux-2.6.8-3-powerpc ?
The vmlinux-2.6.8-3-powerpc seems to work well, but I'd like to
know it's a valid one, not yet another relic from me starting a
kernel upgrade and not copying everything over to BootX in order to
actually get it running :)
Sure!

The vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc is the one that came off the Debain 3.1r0
install disk back in January. The more recent one is the update
installed by aptitude in April. I believe it to be the latest.
Enjoy!
