Re: latest kernel for pmac 7200

[Rolando Abarca <rabarca@dcc.uchile.cl>]

ok, I was able to boot the 7200 with the 2.4.22-small kernel and using the
sarge ramdisk (which is inside the netinstall cd, not sure if it's the
latest, I downloaded it a few days ago).
After booting and before entering the installer (just after decompressing
the ramdisk) this is what I get:

Warning: Unable to open initial console

and then:

Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!

not sure why, but it's an improvement... :)
salud! (cheers!)
