These failed to boot. In all cases stuck at the spinner.
At a guess, this may be fixed by a change in Linux 3.0-rc1:

Please can you test Linux 3.0-rc3, currently available in experimental?
linux-image-3.0.0-rc3-powerpc_3.0.0~rc3-1~experimental.1_powerpc.deb
Also failed to boot and got stuck at spinner.
Gabriel, Michael, do you recognise this bug? Are there any fixes for
Pegasos that are missing from 3.0-rc3?
Ben.

If more than one person is responsible for a bug, no one is at fault.

What do you mean by the spinner? I've had very long boot times with
an apparently dead machine depending on graphics options.
For now I'm running 2.6.39 with one patch for keyboard/mouse handling
which is now upstream.
I can try a more recent kernel on Thursday.

Thanks. Please forgive my ignorance:
- Gabriel, what options do you suggest for a reasonably fast boot?
Does Debian's default configuration need corresponding changes?
- Andrew, what do you mean by the spinner? Could you take a photograph?
- Has anything changed in the month or so since this report was last
discussed?
