Hmm, when I try to boot my amiga with this kernel image, I get:
Compressed image too large! Aborting.
Is this equivalent to your error code?
Seems we have a problem, Michael?
I only wonder what all the mac people who tested the install did. Did you
all use a different kernel image? Maybe somebody can build a working kernel
image? Preferably 2.2.10, everything else requires major hacking on the
boot-floppies (it might work to use a newer source, but the package must be
named kernel-image_2.2.10-*).
