>Description:

The modified POWERMAC_G5 kernel I recently managed to boot on a Power
Mac G5 as described in PR 59529 no longer boots since this commit:

  2025.07.20.09.41.19 martin src/sys/arch/macppc/conf/GENERIC 1.383

  Enable PAX_ASLR

The last output from OFW is:

  loading .data, done..
  clearing .bss, done..

  Invalid memory access at    $SRR0:  00000000.00e00384      $SRR1:  10000000.00003030
   ok

where the "$" is actually a character I don't recognize.

This is booting from a CD containing ofwboot.xcf and the kernel, both
built from the same -current sources.  Since the error happens so
early, I suspect this is a problem with ofwboot.xcf rather than the
kernel.

Reverting the commit makes the boot work again.
