Hi List This post only to share the conclusion to my quest. (I've been fighting for some time now. Thanks to all who attempted to help, especially Chris Tillman)

Voodoo2 3dfx Debian r3.0, 7 cd set (self burnt) MacOS 9.2.2 BootX 1.2.3 (from mdrk dist), kernel deb-vmlinux24, system on /dev/hda7 Symptoms -------- * system freeze after some USB logs (hub.c:... or sub.c:...) at boot or * USB keyboard not responding at all or * system freeze after some key hits while installing base system SOLUTION ======== Boot to Linux via the BootX extension and *not* via the BootX app. Ben: any idea why? Did I miss something in some documentation? Cheers Fred
