John,

Don't worry about repeating, this is the one thing keeping Daystar
Accelerator users from using 1.1

The bug manifests itself as a failure to respond to adb devices after
booting on MacII's with Daystar 68030 accelerators. I have it, and I think
it is common to all users with the accelerator. The kernel boots fine, and
in my case runs fine from a terminal, just won't work at all with the
console keyboard or mouse. Allen suggests that this same bug has appeared
before, and has been fixed, but has reappeared in kernels subsequent to Oct
23, the last one that I can use with the console. If I can give you any
more information, let me know and I'd be glad to.

Brad
