Hi,
i'm having problems trying to use 2.6.20-1 (taken from kernel.org, not 
patched) on my ibook g4 (debian testing/unstable): 
i'm getting two errors while trying to boot up, and i can only report the 
second one because the other slips offscreen before i can see what's going 
on. However, this is what i have been able to hand-copy:
 
kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:610!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#2]

[snipped]

I've been seeing very similar behaviour with 2.6.20 on all pmac32
hardware. I haven't yet tried hard to reproduce on non-pmac.

In case it's of interest, 2.6.20 has been running fine on my PowerBook5,4.
