Problems booting pegasos I

[Niklaus Giger <niklaus.giger@member.fsf.org>]

Hi

I downloaded  the special pegasos 1 netinst iso at : 

  http://people.debian.org/~luther/pegasos/sarge-pegasos1-netinst-2004.10.25.iso

In the OF-prompt I typed 
 boot /pci/ide/cd@0,0 PEGASOS1.;1
as my CD-Rom-drive is the primary master. Then I get after about 20 seconds 
lines like:
>chrpboot starting
>initial ramdisk
>gunzipping
>heap consumed
>start adddress
>calling quiesce
>return 0x0 from prom_init 
afterwards I get stucked and even after 120 seconds there is no Linux boot 
prompt. I have a ATI radeon 9200 AGP card which is identified by lspci as 
follows:

pole lspci returns:

I never managed to compile a bootable kernel from the official debian 
kernel-source-2.6.8 even when I took a .config from a working kernel made 
from the gentoo  2.6.8-pegasos-r2 sources. And I had always the same problem, 
that the kernel just never continued after the prom_init.

Any hints?
