That's why i so much in need of a tarball, without it i can not do things easily, but need to resort to tricks like that.

Possible a configuration problem. > I am not speaking about the xfree stuff, but about the initial console that the kernel is supposed to open after it succeeded in mounting the roor partition. I have an Amiga1200 with a powerpc603e board. i am running an linux-apus kernel with the amifb frambuffer device.
