Hmmm...must have been half-asleep when typing that.  Yes, it's a 
Daystar nPower processor card with dual 200 MHz 604e PowerPC CPUs.

Here's what's left of the boot messages on the screen in 2.2.12 from 
CVS that I compiled on Aug 29, 1999:

The part about "Processor 1 is stuck." doesn't look good, then we get 
the big OOPS.

Any more suggestions?  I've tried booting without extensions, and with
virtual memory turned off.  I have not tried the BootX startup extension
yet, though, only the application.

One thing I'm not sure I have set up correctly is swap for LinuxPPC.  I'm
sure it's setup fine for MkLinux, but I may be missing something in this 
case.

Thanks!

Dave
