It doesn't look like there's anything amiss. Anyone have any other
ideas?
Is it possible your terminal is set to a different rate than the kernel
is communicating on? On Macs, the OF rate is 38400, but when I would
pass 9600 to the kernel in the boot argument without changing the rate
on the terminal, I would get something like that.

Following the various install attempts on IBM hardware documented in this
mailing list, for a given architecture, it is clear that we have been using
kernels of different origin. It appears to me that we would benefit from
having a kernel repository with pre-compiled kernels. I know how to compile
a kernel; however, I prefer to use pre-compiled kernels that have been
built by people that fully understand the requirements for which source
tree to choose, patches to apply, compiler versions to use, etc. This way
we are all working with a common set of kernels.
Does this sound like a reasonable request?
If so, could someone create the following URL:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/disks-powerpc/current/
with the following sub-directories:
prep
chrp
power3
ppc64
Then add the following to each sub-directory:
vmlinux-2.4.xx
zImage-2.4.xx
config file

There was no response to this request on the debian-powerpc list, I
guess it really belongs to debian-boot (cc'd).
Since the consensus is that the current prep and chrp kernels which
we supply as part of boot-floppies are badly broken and unusable,
would something like this be considered for a stable point release?
