No problems here, 2.2.15 and pre16-3 vanilla, with bootx(1.2b1). I don't
boot from MESH, I use my adaptec 2940UW. The same with dev kernels...
make pmac_config
make menuconfig (enable some eth dev's, disable parport and dos fs)
make vmlinux
make modules
make modules_install
put it to MacOS, reboot with 2.2.15, it still runs....

I know, not very helpful.
