Ah. I tried using a floppy ramdisk with the regular image, and it did load it up. But Sven's image still didn't work. It prompts for the floppy disk, but doesn't continue after I press Enter. I seem to remember a similar problem cropping up with 2.2.17, when powerpc was a young'n. Maybe something to do with the adb keyboard?
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 ?
ADB: The config I sent Sven supports ADB keyboards through the "input core" (and sends linux keycodes). This works on my powerbook g4. Altough I don't have this special prompt, because I'm not booting from a floppy. Does the kernel detect your keyboard in the boot messages?
I would be very happy if the kernel just boots, loads a initrd and starts a process to show that it basically works. For the installer to work really with this new kernel we need new modules-udebs, as sven said.
Sven: what's the kernel version (uname -r) of this kernel. Is it still 2.4.22-powerpc? If that's the case the old modules should work. (But probably not all modules are on the initrd, because there's no udeb for them :-( ).
