2.3.45 on B&W G3 PCI-PCI Bridge scan - Is this a problem in earlier kernels?

[Patrick Callahan]

Is it possible that this PCI-PCI bridge scan timing problem manifests
itself in earlier kernels on Blue
G3's as intermittent boot failures?  Ocasionally when I run in MacOS 8.6
for a time, and then boot into Linux using the BootX application version
1.2.? the boot gets to the point where it writes out the word booting...
on the console. but no further.

Is this worth investigating and fixing in the stable kernel if it is
shown to be a problem there?
