Hi again, The problem is still here. Reading debian docs for half a day didn't solve anything :-( - I learned a lot more about various policies though... Here is what I do: - I built the kernel the debian way (make-kpkg yadi yada...) - The kernel image I get in /boot after the kernel successfully built and installed is vmlinux-2.2.19. This image, I copy to my bootstrap partition (hfs) where yaboot resides. - I reboot with the yaboot.conf pointing to the new image. - I DO use 'video=atyfb video=ofonly' in the append string. When the iBook restarts, I still get the Do-QUIESCE message. Linux boots (supposedly as I hear the disk) but the OF screen is blocking the view kinda. Switching to linux-2.2.18 which I got from somewhere else works. It's just not fair! What's wrong with my procedure? Did I forget to tell set a flag when building the kernel, like don't call quiesce or something (shouldn't it be yaboot who calls quiesce anyway)? I am running out of ideas... Can someone help pleeeease? Thanks a lot, Laurent
