Cannot manage to boot kernel on Prep PowerPc

["Jerome Walter" <walter@efrei.fr>]

Hello,

I have been trying for some days (due to compile time length), to
compile a 2.4 kernel on an old Estrella station. This have a PowerStack
Prep processor.

Having managed to compile this, i am quite lost when it comes to
preparing "bootloader", as the system does not really have one.

I dd'ed vmlinux into /dev/sda1 (Prep boot partition), but when booting,
it stops to "Uncompressing Kernel" (or something like this).

I have the idea that it could come from missing ramimage, or something
like this, but get lost into the few documentation i found. Prehaps
someone here could help me getting this running, and i promise i'll
write a documentation to avoid people playing with old stations such
matters ;).


TIA for your answers,

Jerome Walter
