Yesterday I had tried to use the 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 kernel-images with the same result: no booting. I have 64MB RAM installed. Thomas Martin Michlmayr schrieb: How much RAM do you guys have? Also, can you try to boot the 2.6.18 kernel without an initrd? Basically, download the installer image from http://people.debian.org/~ths/d-i/mipsel/images/daily/cobalt/ and then edit default.colo so it will only load the kernel. You can use something like this as your default.colo: #:CoLo:# # # load kernel via NFS # -serial on nfs {dhcp-next-server} {dhcp-root-path} vmlinux-2.6.18-3-r5k-cobalt execute console=ttyS0,{console-speed} |
