> > * which kernel version (precise) that you're trying to boot
linux-image-3.2.0-19-powerpc-smp (3.2.0-19.30) won't boot.
linux-image-3.2.0-18-powerpc (3.2.0-18.29) works just fine.

It's an OldWorld Beige G3 with one of the many 1GHz upgrade
boards that were popular long ago, sadly, I don't recall
which brand/model, though I suspect I'd have the same
problem booting if I dug up the original CPU and stuck it
back in.
I'm not entirely sure what more info you might want than
"OldWorld G3 Tower", but if there's something specific you'd
like me digging for, I'm all ears.

Unfortunately, it boots from BootX, because I could never make quik run
on my broken OF (granted, I never tried that hard, so I'm sure it can
be done, but if it ain't broke?). The problem with booting from BootX,
though, is that there's no chance for debug output, because I just get
a slightly corrupt MacOS desktop, and then the machine hangs. It's not
getting far enough to init a framebuffer or anything shiny.
