How should i know ? I have no idea how your hardware works, nor access

That said, maybe this one :

Altough not for the same box as you, may be of some help. Go directly to

boot cdrom vmlinuz-chrp-rs6k-di-beta3-2004.03.16 devfs=mount

No idea really, sorry.

Yeah, probably, but these are not answers i have, sorry, i can only
provide you the actual chrp-rs6k kernel + initrd.
