Description Mike Hammill 2006-03-16 07:00:50 UTC 
During coldplugging one gets the message "Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig 11 [#1]".  See also discussion at <http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-442693.html>.  This applied to the 2006.0 minimal ppc CD.  No other 2006.0 CDs were tested.

The work around is to use the "nodetect" option. 

Note that 2005.1-r1 boots the same machine without problems.

The B&W G3 is a quite nasty machine.  We had a lot of problems with it in the past.  I don't want to change the CDs in any way, when 'nodetect' cat boot that machine properly.
