Well, another problem could be that the initrd is broken, like seems to be the case with the initrd i built the other day from Gowsin's tree. And i guess you need to build the initrd with the right modules or something. Gaudenz can you comment on this ? Anyway, i don't have the hardware and cannot try this, so it is somewhat upto you (and other oldworld users) to give me a working kernel config, and give Goswin a working build process. I will try a new build today, including the ROOT_NFS thing in the powerpc and powerpc-smp configs, but not into powerpc-small, unless i get asked for them.
