Hi!

I have been compiling -current kernels for my macppc iBook (late 2002)
and booting them with, what I think is, the 1.6.1 ofwboot.xcf boot
loader. This worked just fine using 1.6ZD. Yesterday I updated my tree
to ZE and this is what I get now with almost all kernels:

(typed from screen, beware of typos..)

Changing to the latest ofwboot.xcf gives me this:

loading XCOFF

(and then it just sits there!)


Is there some error because it is not doing anything with the .rodata
area?


Best regards
