Hi,


I have some difficulties to boot the latest snapshot on my iMac G5.

I started to install 4.9 through the official CD release.
Then, I upgraded to the latest snapshot.  At that point, it failed
to boot and I got :
	http://www.symacx.com/~oc/tmp/current.png
I disabled onyx(4) and I got:
	http://www.symacx.com/~oc/tmp/current-without-onyx.png

Diabling onyx(4) and smu(4) makes it boot.


I also tried with the 5.0 release and it crashed on onyx(4) but not on
smu(4). So with 5.0, disabling 'onyx' is anough to make it boot.

To summarry:
4.9	: works
5.0	: onyx(4) should be disabled
current	: onyx(4) plus smu(4) should be disabled


Enabling the Openfirmware's telnet package works fine but it stops
working after displaying :

*** BEGIN ***

                                                                      |
                                                    it hangs here ----+
*** END ***


So, I could not get proper DDB log messages.
Moreover, the keyboard is not answering after a kernel crash. That's why
I took the pictures.

Thanks,
Cheers.
