Re: 2.6.24-rc1 freezes on powerbook at first boot stage

[FWIW, my powerbook worked with -rc1]

2.6.24-rc2 works so lala :)

b43 doesn't authenticate via wpa (bluetooth isn't loaded):
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.0

Those error messages are unrelated. My b43 works fine, even with a
multi-MAC patch.

TCP: Hash tables configured (established 131072 bind 65536)

This has been fixed.

There is a lot to do, but it seems to be a big, big code change in
that version. This impressed me by looking at the git changes and
the size of patches. And the rc's don't seem to be frozend versions.
A lot of new code comes in....
Let me know whether a complete dmesg is needed.

What is the problem? Why is this on wireless? It'd help if you'd make
one message per problem and post it to the correct mailing lists.
