Hello,
I am writing this mail after having talked with Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
In Linux 2.6 kernels, there is a problem with some certain PowerPC boxen
which will panic immediately after boot. I observers this beahviour with
a PowerPC OldWorld from Apple (601 CPU, I think it's a "Power Macintosh
8200" or something). The root of all evil is a patch sent in by SUSE and
Benjamin provided me with a patch. It would make sense to apply it since
any 2.6 kernel will refuse to boot on machines like that without it. The
patch is attached. Thanks.
