Hi,

FYI:

I have narrowed this down to drivers/scsi/mesh.c (the root disk
controller for the PowerMac 8600). I have compiled everything else for
2.6.36 with 4.3.5, including modules. With a 4.1.2 compiled mesh.c the
beast boots. I am using it to post this follow up.

Hi,

If I enable SMP then I can build a 2.6.28 kernel with gcc 4.3.5 that
WILL boot on the PowerMac8600 (single 750GX). The previously mentioned
G4 that runs is a dual cpu beast and thus also runs SMP.
