I have had the exact same thing happen when I try to boot running 1.5 on my
Powerbook 170 (8meg RAM, 200 gig HD). All looks fine, all devices load,
until it panics, just after reading PRAM. I sent it in as a pr.
1.4.3 runs just famously on the same machine.
I don't know the first thing about debugging, but maybe one of the gurus
here will have some suggestions.
