Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.459936] Rebooting in 180 seconds.. No bootoptions were changed, no disks swapped, no partitions altered whatsoever. Full .config & dmesg: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/3.4.0-rc1/init/ Thanks, Christian. PS: Unfortunately I cannot boot into the old (3.3-rc7) kernel right now (which is still installed via "yaboot" and present in /boot), because of this: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/3.4.0-rc1/init/mac-invalid-memory.JPG Booting into Debian's "squeeze" kernel (2.6.32) which resides in the same /boot directory succeeds. -- BOFH excuse #334: 50% of the manual is in .pdf readme files
