Hello,

Is anyone using 1.3 on PowerBook 550? I have tried 6 kinds of kernels 
and never successfully booted. I have tried all the Booter options. Also
I have tried with extensions off.

>From the boot messages , I can see the hardware are recognized fine
except MAC address. But boot almost always stops at 'zstty0 at zsc0 channel 0'
message.

Actually, yesterday, I could get to the prompt by using HWDIRECT kernel once.
But the machine froze and it didn't respond anyway. Today, I can't even get
to the prompt :(. I have no idea why.

Regards,
