I assume you are using an "own-compiled" kernel? And by "1.3.16-3" I assume you mean the latest yaboot?
Sadly, that doesn't work for all of us. In particular, unless I have the expertise and time to build a private installer CD with my own- compiled kernel, I can't install on a new machine.
Does anybody know what's holding up getting this fix into the main- line Debian PowerPC kernels?
Thanks! Rick
