Mmm, this is just plain 2.4 tree from the ppc tree. So our 2.4 kernels should work just as well. Did you try to use our 2.4 kernels ? I guess the problem is that they are to huge (>5MB), and thus don't fit on floppies. Can you : 1) get the debian 2.4 kernel sources (you need both kernel-source-2.4.27 and kernel-patch-2.4.27-powerpc, untar the kernel-source tarball, and apply the powerpc patches from /usr/src/kernel-patch/...). 2) copy the .config from the above site. 3) do a make oldconfig and reply to all the questions about new config options as best you can, compile the kernel, and try putting it on a floppy. You need to do a make zImage and then use arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.prep. Report back on this process if possible. Friendly, Sven Luther
