Ok, since now we know that your box is a chrp one, we can tell a bit more about this : > 0 > boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229 > LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree > BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 > FILE: /install/tftpboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd > Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000 > FINAL Packet Count = 11055 Final File Size = 5660139 bytes. > > Unexpected Firmware Error: > DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00300 at %SRR0: 00c1b030 %SRR1: 00003030 This is expected, since you are trying to boot a prep kernel on a chrp box. > 0 > boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229 > LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree > BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 > FILE: /install/tftpboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd > Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000 > FINAL Packet Count = 11188 Final File Size = 5727838 bytes. > CLAIM failed > ok > 0 > Ok, claim is used in the bootloader. I don't really know if this is happening while the OF is claiming space for the kernel (i somehow don't think so, because it has already loaded it somewhere), or if the actual kernel boot-loader is trying to claim in the arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/main.c. > 0 > setenv load-base 100000 ok > 0 > boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229 > LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree > BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 > FILE: /install/tftpboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd > Load Addr=0x100000 Max Size=0xb00000 > FINAL Packet Count = 11188 Final File Size = 5727838 bytes. > <REBOOT> > LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree > BOOTP R = 1 BOOTP S = 1 > FILE: /install/tftpboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd > Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000 > FINAL Packet Count = 11188 Final File Size = 5727838 bytes. > CLAIM failed This should have helped. I naturally have no idea how the IBM OF is set out, where the actual OF code is located, and what the free space is. Could you try other load-base entries ? And BTW, how much memory you have on that box anyway ? Also, could provide the output of powerpc/netboot/2.4/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd as well, and try to boot a standalone (without initrd) 2.6 kernel, by installing kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc, and running mkvmlinuz -n -o /tftpboot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-powerpc -k /boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc and then booting the resulting kernel. You would need mkvmlinuz version 9 or higher. Friendly, Sven Luther
