AFAIK PPC emulation hasn't *ever* worked well enough to boot without at least building a custom linux kernel. In addition the -kernel commandline option have no effect, and there is no test image available. I stand by my original statement. A machine that requires building a custom kernel, maybe hacking a bootloader, and creating a bootable filesystem from scratch is untestable. Paul
