Hi, I have installed Potato on a IBM RS/6000 B50. I've upgraded to kernel 2.4.8, and am able to boot the system from floppy. It just won't boot from hd. My partitions are like this: /dev/sda1 PReP-boot 4M /dev/sda2 /boot 8M /dev/sda3 / 2G /dev/sda5 swap ...
I compiled yaboot 0.8 with a patch from IBM <http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/patches/ppc/yabo ot-misc.patch.gz > and then did "dd if=yaboot of=/dev/sda1". Now when I try to boot from hd it says: Welcome to yaboot version 0.8 Config file read, 4096 bytes boot: Loading kernel... Elf32 kernel loaded... ... and then nothing else happens. I also tried copying the kernel directly to /dev/sda1, then it boots, but doesn't find the root fs/init. What can I do? I also tried quik, but it didn't work either.
