Hi,

trying to boot 3.0-rc1 on powerpc32 only progresses until:

And then the system hangs, does not respond to keyboard (sysrq does not 
seem to work on this PowerBook G4). But after a while the system reboots 
itself, so I guess the machine panicked but did not print anything on the

Full messages (picture), config & (working) dmesg:

I'm currently trying to bisect this, so far I have:
Hrm, I had it working on a pair of powerbooks yesterday. Can you try
something like "udbg-immortal" on your kernel command line to see if
that makes a difference in the output ?

Cheers,
Ben.
