you da man. i de-selected the 8250 stuff, and VT, and my load line was nothing more than: Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 [EP's PlanetCore loader] (which would, of course, crash and burn as soon as it tried to find an init-like program, but who cares?) the results: Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 Uncompressing Linux...done.
