Hi, Juergen Braun writes:
> debian stable installation [...] kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc The kernel image in this package is an uncompressed ELF file (called vmlinux), while you need a compressed kernel image file with PReP boot code glued onto it. Those are typically called vmlinuz or zImage.prep. The one from the boot floppy should do fine; after all, it managed to boot your machine for installation. > And tried to install the bootloader with > yabootconfig -r /dev/sda3 -b /dev/sda1 [...] > What's the problem with this error message? > Why isn't the system booting from disk? Because you have a PReP machine, and PReP is for real men who don't bother with flimsy bootloaders and other fancy stuff. In order to get a kernel onto the PReP boot partition, just write it there. The exact command is dd if=/where/you/keep/your/zImage.prep of=/dev/sda1 Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe! Le veux aimeb et mqubib panz je pézqbpbe je djuz tqtaj!
