Hi Nathan,

This works perfectly, as noted. 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

I'll knock up a 7.0-snap (just done with the 6.0-RELEASE) that will have the fix in it. If you really need a 6.x based system, then it might be a few days before I can MFC the fix back into that branch.

(c) tell me how to make my own?

It is possible, but by the time I'm finished writing the instructions, the 7.0-snap would be built :)

later,

Peter.
