Bug Description
Had some time to fool around with Ubuntu on a PowerBook3,5. I discovered that the 3.16 kernel has a regression in it, it does not set CONFIG_
To reproduce:
1) Set up a Powerbook or Powermac running Ubuntu (I have 12.04 on a Powerbook3,5, with the 3.13.0-37 kernel installed)
2) Install the 3.16.0-21.28 kernel from https:/
3) Reboot
Expected results:
The machine reboots normally
Actual results:
Boot fails in the initramfs with the error "gave up waiting for boot device"
From the busy box prompt, running "modprobe pata_macio" then "exit" allows the machine to keep booting.
A permanent workaround is to add pata_macio to /etc/initramfs-
There is a brief discussion of a similar problem in Precise in bug 876982. CONFIG_PATA_MACIO=y was set in 3.2.0-2.6.
