Hello,
I am new to PPC, so please excuse if these are FAQs, but I searched
the archive and could not find the answers. I use a new iBook G4.
I got the latest benh-kernel by rsync and build the kernel using
make-kpkg. As described in the archive, I had to touch
arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff and
arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff-2.4.25-ben1
(I used http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2004/04/msg00305.html).
After installing, I have the following files in /boot:
insgesamt 12457
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26885 2004-05-08 16:15 config-2.4.25-ben1

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5446643 2004-04-14 16:26 vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2004-05-08 16:50 vmlinux.coff-2.4.25-ben1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2095032 2004-04-14 16:26 vmlinux.coff-2.4.25-powerpc
Is this normal? (i.e. vmlinux AND an empty vmlinux.coff-2.4.25-ben1 ??).
I made a bug-report about the build-problem: #247850
I boot the kernel, and it stops at:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 172k init 4k chrp 8k prep
INIT: version 2.85 booting
Loading /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

The kernel supplied by Debian shows at this part:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

then it detects the logical volumes, complains about the CD-ROM (some
Illegal request).
I can post my complete .config or other information if needed. Thanks
for pointers to fine manuals or hints where to look at.
