Oh yes, sure enough. However, I am unable to tell you _where_ exactly it
breaks.

I've been unable to boot _any_ 2.3/2.4 kernels on my machine since
around 2.3.99 or a bit earlier. Some revisions would boot part of the
time, but most of them not at all. Symtom is always the same: hang
before initializing the framebuffer, i.e. still on the OF screen.

I get the 'retunring 0x... from prom_init' string, but nothing after
that.....
