Hi! I've been installing Woody on an IBM rs/6000 B50 this days and I've had a lot of trouble because I was not being able to get yaboot to tell the kernel to use /dev/sda3 as the root fs, also it was not telling the kernel to use ttyS0 as my console.
I had to boot from the net as the kernel when being loaded by yaboot, insisted on trying to mount /dev/sda2 (8,2) as the root, and that was my swap partition. At the end it resulted that the problem was that I was trying to use a compressed image of the kernel, zImage.chrp-rs6k, which was uncompressed ok, but didn't get the right parameters (Kernel command line: =) while when I used the uncompressed image, vmlinux, it worked ok (Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda3 ro console=ttyS0). Is this normal or is it a bug? If it is normal and I should use vmlinux... what are the compressed images for?
