           Summary: linux-image-2.6.15-7 and linux-image-2.6.15-8 don't boot
                    on powerpc

          Platform: powerpc

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Since I did not find any other bugs mentionning this problem, I'm assuming this
is powerpc specific.
When booting the two latest released kernels for powerpc (this is to say
2.6.15-7 and -8), the boot process begins fine, with the initrd image being
brought up.
The boot is now (since the latest udev upgrade I believe) less verbose than it
was when I first encountered the problem, but I remember the boot hung after a
line saying that "udevplug -Bpci" was called.
2.6.15-6 works fine, and its initrd file is dated from the 5th of december, in
case it can help.

Here are some version numbers, let me know if you need anything else:
