Okay, I now have done some testing with more kernels on both the Powerbook 2400 and another Powermac 7300, to see where the boot problem lies.
I could not boot all kernels on the 7300 since I haven't activated the matroxfb in my PB2400 compilation and did not want to recompile them. Matrix looks as follows kernel PB2400 quik PB2400 BootX PM7300 BootX bk, 2.4.4-pre1 ok fail -- benh, 2.4.3 ok fail -- pmac, 2.4.0-test11 ok ok ok pmac, 2.2.17 DEFAULT CATCH! ok -- pmac, 2.2.18 DEFAULT CATCH! ok ok pmac, 2.4.3-pre8 ok fail ok bk, 2.2.19 DEFAULT CATCH! ok ok bk, 2.4.3 ok fail ok so: a) kernels >= 2.4.3 fail with BootX on PB2400 but are okay on PowerMac 7300. b) kernels 2.2.x work on all BootX c) kernels 2.2.x produce DEFAULT CATCH! in quik d) all kernels >= 2.4.0 lock the PB2400 when sending it to sleep, be it from console or X, using "snooze" or shutting the lid. (it's about to get off-topic, but well... :) ) Hope this may help to encircle any bug. bye, Philipp
