Both Marcelo's tree and the linuxppc tree *should* be OK on a 170, if they aren't then I have some work to do. > > Please wait, loading kernel... > > Elf32 kernel loaded... > > > > That's it ! After that, the System hangs. So, you're booting with yaboot?

CONFIG_POWER3 is right; as to other things you don't need the mac-specific drivers or IDE. You probably do want CONFIG_VT and CONFIG_FB and (I would guess) CONFIG_FB_MATROX (depending on what video card you have). I can send you the .config I use for ppc32 kernels on RS/6000 170 and 270 machines if you like. > I'm not sure how good the POWER3 support is in the 32-bit ppc > kernel, so... Should be just fine for a machine with <= 3GB of RAM. Regards, Paul.
