I've built a new kernel that is the same as the HWDIRECT168 kernel
except
it has the intvidtest 0.4.1 code in it, which I inadvertantly left out.

Unfortunately, after some testing by folks on the net, it appears that 
this is not the problem. The boot dies long before the ADB code is even
started, so it's not an ADB issue, either (or, at least, there's
something
else that's broken, so we can't tell if the ADB code is ok)

If you'd like to test the kernel anyway, it's:
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/outgoing/jpw/kernels/current/HWDIRECT.173.tar.gz

This problem probably affects the LC II, Performa 400/405/430 but may
also
have an impact on the Classic and Classic II.

If you test it, regardless of the results, please let me know so I can
update the status page.

Thanks!
