Hi, Well I think it's a framebuffer problem... I am using the sarge nightly build install cdrom (~250Meg). I use bootx to start the kernel with the ramdisk and I get as far as seeing the output listed below.
After that there is some activity at the top of the screen. A flashing cursor and what looks like text flashing past. This makes me believe that the kernel is booting but the framebuffer is somehow now showing it. Is there a kernel boot parameter I can use to somehow rectify this Thanks in advance Chris Output Listing Follows:- Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.6.7-powerpc linked at : 0xc0000000 frame buffer at : 0xf1001000 (phys), 0xd0001000 (log) klimit : 0xc063f000 MSR : 0x00000072 HID0 : 0x0010c001 pmac_init(): exit id mach(): done MMU:enter MMU:hw init MMU:mapin MMU:setio MMU:exit setup_arch: ehter setup_arch: bootmem arch: exit
