Any specific reason to stay with a 2.2 kernel? I can run 2.4.18 mainline
straight-Linus (sorry, straight-Marcello) on my 7600, with a Promise as
well.

Ran into nasty problems booting with BootX on a G4, as I was trying to
have exactly the same environment on my G4 as I was going to have on the
PowerBase.  Then, I finaly got the PowerBase.  So basically, it was legacy
from having needed to get the system up and running before the final
machine actually arrived.  Caused some hiccups.

you must not use BootX on newworld hardware (such as G4s).  you must
use yaboot.
