Booting the kernel on the livecd 1.4_rc2 results in a very reproducable oops on my G4 cube (450 with 1.1G memory). I am able to boot a 2.4.20-ben1 (and 19-ben0) kernel with the live.img boot file using the in-kernel vlinitrd loader and run the livecd from there.

WOuld you be able to try the kernel from here on your machine and see if results are any better? http://ppckernel.org/kernel.php?id=28 If you can let me know it would be great.
the ben kernel occasionally hung after TCIC cardbus probe with 242 bad address the bk kernel was ok. However neither had initrd. latest config still missing loop. had a few hangs after detecting SCSI (have a sbp-2 disk that doesn't show active) on ben kernel but otherwise stable.
Yes thanks for the catch (again). I just uploaded the proper ./config file and triggered builds, should be more within a couple hours to test. Thanks for your efforts here miltonm
ok the ben kernel works, although i did have 1 boot in 10 that hung after the scsi subsystem banner. The bk kernel did not get recompiled with loop yet.
Yes, in fact there is an upstream issue with the bk tree (and the kernel.org 2.4.21-pre2). Seems marcelo may have comitted some things he shouldn't have (assuming that th dir named 'dontdiff' he used wan't for commit in his diffs). He broke the Makefile for iee1394 support, so once that gets resolved there shoud also be a bk kernel to test. If the benh works for most people I would lean towards that one as it has some hardare support that bk currently doesnt. Thanks for testing stuff Milton.
this is old, newer kernel should be great Milton: Can you test latest release ISO on your cube?
closing for staleness
