Sorry, I am afraid I lost some messages of this thread.  Hope this is not
too outdated ;-)

I _have_ a Lombard running without problems.  So just some ideas which
might give you some more information.  Maybe you should try to work from
the first virtual (text) console (ctrl-opt-F1).  If the kernel panics
(which is does very likely) it will emit this information there, but you
will NEVER see it if you are in X, and it does not necessarily go into
/var/log/messages.

Did you check the serial port drivers?  I rember there were some problems
if you use the serial.c under LinuxPPC.  You do not need it, the right one
is macserial.c.  I could trigger panics on the Lombard and on my old 7300
by just typing "cat /dev/ttyS0 > /dev/null".

Hope this helps, Albrecht.
