Thank you.
I've extracted the binary kernel from the
http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/linux-image/linux-image-2.6.16-1-mac_2.6.16-6_m68k.deb
file. I have booted it on my Quadra 700 with Penguin and
"root=/dev/sda7" as command line. Unfortunately, it fails with a
kernel panic. Here's the output:

On my second attempt, it failed another way. Look at the picture at

Any help would be appreciated.
