23 We already reported it upstream and benh says it's a userland issue. I
24 thought 2.6.5_rc2-benh1 was reported to work. The cd boots on the
25 15inch version of the powerbook, but not the 12inch.
26 We'll use 2.6.5 vanilla then (I only need to have an ebuild that
27 patches it with gcloop, luca?)
