That's coming close. I tried to install the 2.4.18 kernel, but it failed
on a depency of initrd-tools > 0.1.6. But that doesn't matter because
the 2.4.18 kernel appeared to be installed. I just modified the initial
link from (after chroot /target) /vmlinux -> /boot/vmlinux-2.4.17 to the
.18 kernel. So now it boots the 2.4.18 kernel.
Unfortunally, the keyboard still doesn't work correct. It seems like the
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz is not the correct file. It's an US
keyboard. The machine isn't that fast so I see a message that the keymap
has been loaded.
For making changes I can boot over the network and start a shell to make
changes.
Any more hints?
Kind regards,
Roland Leurs
