After posting this message i decided to reinstall the system... The story begins with the fact that until now i used single EXT partition for Linux. In the far past it used to be EXT2, then when i upgraded to Etch it became EXT3. There was no separate /boot partition because Pegasos firmware was perfectly able to read that partition. But now, first i decided to use EXT4 (yes, i performed clean reinstall). Firmware did not know what is EXT4 and could not read /boot directory. Fault. I reinstalled again, this time i used EXT3. But... Hah! This EXT3 appears to be somehow incompatible with my older EXT3. The firmware was not able to read it. But, fortunately, MorphOS was able to. I quickly extracted vmlinux file from /boot directory, copied it to SFS partition (where MorphOS lives), and booted it from there. But this time i decided to do everything in a good way. I cut a small 120MB piece from my old Linux partition and decided to use it as EXT2 /boot. The rest became EXT4 again. I reinstalled in this configuration, and... In /boot i saw two images. One had "vmlinux" name and another had "vmlinuz" name. I ran vmlinuz and everything worked fine! :) So, it's not kernel's fault. It seems to be installer fault which does not generate correct vmlinuz image when not using separate /boot partition. vmlinux, i know, is another thing. It's a "plain" image meant to be ran from GRUB or yaboot. It cannot be run from OFW. So, we can close this, probably with a notification to Installer guys. -- Kind regards, Pavel mailto:pavel_fe...@mail.ru -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
