I tried that kernel on my iMac with the 3.0.16 boot-floppies initrd. It does boot up for me. I found if I configured the keyboard (either keymap), it went to a really wacky keymap; but if I avoided that step it was usable. (In that crazy keymap, just in case you arrive there, 2=r for reboot, and F5=Return.) I didn't do too much, there are probably lots of incompatibilities. I tried configuring DHCP, that failed. And it froze when rebooting. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
