Going from 3.3-rc7 to 3.4-rc1 (with "make oldconfig" inbetween) did not
go well on this PowerBook G4 machine:

Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.318816] EXT4-fs (hda6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.320286] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 3:6.
Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.341555] devtmpfs: mounted
Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.343384] Freeing unused kernel memory: 204k freed
Apr 2 15:18:23 [ 8.457056] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. 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:

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:

Booting into Debian's "squeeze" kernel (2.6.32) which resides in
the same /boot directory succeeds.
