The last messages I see on the console are Kernel command line: ramdisk_size=8192 irq: Found primary Apple PIC /pci/mac-io for 64 irqs irq: System has 64 possible interrupts and then it hangs until I reboot it. Unfortunately I don't have a serial cable compatible with the G3's serial port so I can't set up a serial console. Eventually I narrowed the cause down to "powerpc/pci: Reserve legacy regions on PCI" (commit c1f343028d35ba4e88cd4a3c44e0d8b8a84264ee) in 2.6.28-git12. Reverting that from 2.6.29-rc2 results in a kernel that boots ok and works reliably. The problem seems system specific as both my G5 and my G4 had no problems at all with 2.6.29-rc1. /Mikael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
