Could you please test also out my kernels at http://people.debian.org/~luther/powerpc/2.4.22, especially the chrp variant ? I need tester in order to be sure they work well on with the official kernels. > - Where can I download the di initrd for CHRP. I plan to perform a network > install.

The kernels i built should support the di well enough, but have been tested on CHRP/pegasos and powermac only. I will work more on them this weekend though, so maybe by early next week, i will try to have a working di kernel+initrd for CHRP (tested on my pegasos only naturally). Friendly, Sven Luther
