2.6 does not work here (kernel panic) but in the meantime I found a way
to get 2.4 on my ct60 working.
1.) Start in VGA mode (don't know if this is also necessary with 2.4 but
with 2.6 RGB modes don't work)
2.) With ct60 use bootstra.prg instead of the provided ct60 way to boot
Linux kernels
So 2.4 started perfectly until it reached the point where it tried to
find an ethernet card. None of my cards was recognized (neither EtherNEC
nor EtherNAT).
So at this point I am stuck.
Christian's kernels with EtherNEC modules compiled in are in .deb format
so without a working debian installation they are of little use for me. :-(
Michael was so kind to send me a 2.4 kernel but this one unfortunately
stopped working after displaying TUX in the upper left corner of the
screen (blinking cursor below).
Anyway, it is getting better and I like to thank everyone who helped.
Regards,
Frank
