Both of > those want a plan old vmlinux, which that file isn't. i see. im tempted to just say only include kernels for yaboot/quik. booting directly via OF is a specialized thing and i don't see any problem with requiring users who want to do that to build thier own kernel. (maybe make it some sort of build time config option in make-kpkg). or perhaps teach yaboot/quik/silo to boot the OF images... -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
