Booting from CD fails for 0x100100 kernels, such as the 8.0-current snapshot, and works for 0x13d3c0 kernels like the 7.1_BETA snapshot. Booting kernels from hard disk (both with a loader in an HFS partition in hard disk or with the loader from the CD) also fails for 8.0-current kernels with the 0x1001000 address and works for kernels with a 0x13d3c0 address, either 7.1 or 8.0-current compiled with revision 1.7 of the "ldscript.powerpc" file . Oddly enough, I tried booting the same 8.0-current snapshot CD on a PowerMac G4 "Sawtooth" (PowerMac3,1) and it boots fine there -- no errors, as does the 7.1-beta CD... Thanks, Marco.
