I'm trying to install on a Powermac G4 (well, a large variety of powermac g4s) that were affected by this problem -- and now I have a CD that kernel panics at boot, and one that doesn't, but can't do anything. Is there any way you could (a) provide directions for installing using sprg_test.iso (I tried using 2 CD drives, but can't figure out how to specify root correctly), (b) make a patched 6.0-RELEASE iso, or (c) tell me how to make my own? Thanks so much, Nathan
