Re: new kernel fails to boot - run-parts issue?

thanks. that bug is it. I upgraded that package, then initramfs 
generated correctly and I could try to boot into the new kernel 
succesfully. Still I hape the mixed time64_t issue, but I wanted to 
check the kernel.

The bad news, it doesn't like my iBook. It starts to boot, transitions 
to the first framebuffer (that black&white one that has some refresh 
issues and stripes, before the final one gets loaded) and that 
overwrites itself a bit.

The last thing I can see are:

Console: colour dummy device 80x25
printk: legacy console [tty0] enabled
printk: legacy bootconsole [udbg0] disabled

then it hangs. I left it there all night, still hung.

Luckily, LinuxOld kernel still boots. If I compare, that is really the 
moment where the framebuffer with colors kicks in after a short delay.

Is atyfb for ATI Rage still in the kernel?
Is PPC 750 still supported?
