If you have a clean powerup system I would recommend that you use
an older bootstrap(bh000111.lha) to get it working. I personally
couldn't get Linux to boot up from my warpup system(with AmigaOS3.5)
so I created a small partition instead which *only* has PowerUP installed.
I think WarpUP is better, but once you get your Linux system running,
you probably won't care ;).

If this kernel don't work, download another kernel from:

I downloaded 2210-allobscsi.lha.
