Christian, I downloaded your kernel and write it with rewrite to a floppy. When doing boot floppy, it read for a second the Floppy and does nothing. then I downloaded your kernel en the initrd.gz. and installed tftpd32 ( for windows ) on another machine.
When I use " boot net bootpserverIP,kernelname,192.168.1.20(RS/6000) " It says ... bad IP value, when I use " boot net " it does somekind of search but then comes back to ok> Is there something I do wrong ?

There are numerous patches that might work with versions up to 2.6.7, but I was unlike booting with such a kernel. My F40 runs on a - still patched - 2.4.22 kernel. You'll definetely need to netboot the machine, I'm pretty certain that it won't boot a linux kernel from any other media. You might want to check out the documentation and mailing list archive found on http://www.solinno.co.uk/ The site is not only about the 7043-140, you'll find all the patches necessary. I compiled a kernel especially for the F40, you might want to check it out http://cptsalek.de/debian-sarge-installation-on-a-7025-f40/ for more details.
