[Bug 30273] Re: linux-image-2.6.15-14-powerpc does not boot on "50 (PowerBook Wallstreet)"

There seems to be a fix for this specific bug in the 2.6.16 kernel source. This is an extract from ChangeLog-2.6.16:

commit d7f3945420b5d8114f2d4d85e90abe5063cc196a
Author: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh at kernel.crashing.org>

    [PATCH] powerpc: Add back support for booting from BootX (#2)

    ARCH=powerpc couldn't boot from BootX as it uses a "different" way of
    getting in the kernel. This patch adds the necessary trampolines,
    creating a flattened device-tree from the tree passed from MacOS, and
    initializing the btext engine early for really-early debugging.

I'll try to build a kernel from linux-source-2.6.15 and this patch tomorrow.

Regards,
Niels Kristian
