Re: Bug#382129: Beta3 won't boot on OldWorld PowerPC Mac
no, i have not tried it again since two weeks ago.
however, i am going to linux world sf this week and
bringing my powerbook 3400, if any ppc people are
there at all, perhaps we could get together and try it.
available any day after 2pm if you can catch me, or leave
a message at the debian booth.
note: the 3400 doesn't get as far as the g3 (prints just
the "welcome to linux line"...)
i live in
town and i also have a g3 like ricks but it is not transportable,
sorry... (but yah i got the same results as him). i have a
few ideas i wanted to try but have not had the time lately.
i had my hopes on getting an old m68k mac going too,
i believe in switching around, perspective helps...

Same results as noted in the original bugreport by this number. It
hangs almost immediately. The picture of Tux never appears at the
top of the screen. See the original bug report for details.
Seriously,
Has *anybody* had any success getting the "Linux version 2.6.16-2-
powerpc (Debian 2.6.16-17)" kernel to boot an OldWorld machine with
BootX? Or *any* kernel after 2.6.15?
What has changed between the Sarge kernel (which boots just fine) and
this one that would have such a catastrophic effect?
Enjoy!
Rick
