Stupid me. ;) OK understood. The installer loads the "old" kernel from
the net and doesn't use the one of /nfsroot.
I took out the HD and overwrite the kernel with above and it works now:
raqian1:~# uptime
21:55:06 up 2 min, 2 users, load average: 0.33, 0.33, 0.14
raqian1:~# uname -a
Linux raqian1 2.6.18-6-r5k-cobalt #1 Mon Feb 25 19:30:05 UTC 2008 mips
GNU/Linux
raqian1:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
system type : Cobalt RaQ
processor : 0
cpu model : Nevada V1.0 FPU V1.0
BogoMIPS : 148.99
wait instruction : yes
microsecond timers : yes
tlb_entries : 48
extra interrupt vector : yes
hardware watchpoint : no
ASEs implemented :
VCED exceptions : not available
VCEI exceptions : not available
Please let me know if I should do some tests for you. Do you think I
should test the 2.6.25 on the RaQ1? (How can I do this?)
And thanks for your efforts and all the good work!
Cheers
Thorsten
