If you disable the CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT diagnostics (in favour of serial diagnostics) the hang goes away. Anyway, I imagine that the problem with your patch was that it relies on font data from a different (read only) section, which is unavailable for some reason (MMU not fully configured yet?) So I've asked Stan to test a patch that simply removes the relevant 'const' keywords. It's not a solution, but might narrow-down the search. > c) Is this only the Powerbooks that are unhappy - are other Macs OK > with this - if so, wth is the difference with a powerbook?

It's likely that other Old World systems are also affected, if they are using BootX. We don't yet know whether the regression also affects Old World systems using the iQUIK bootloader instead of BootX.
