I did some digging and it appears that the last working hd-media install is from 2006-03-30, which is the last day the 2.6.15-1-powerpc kernel was used. The odd thing is that the miBoot floppies, which used the 2.6.16-1-powerpc-miboot kernel, worked fine. - -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
