Re: Sarge / OldWorld / Boot X

[Rainer Gutkas <Rainer.Gutkas@kstp.at>]

I installed sarge some month ago on a Wallstreet, was a real good 
suggestion from one of this list.
I'm not too sure, but I think I took the kernel from the install cd, if 
I'm right there was an oldworld directory.
The kernel was 2.4, so everything was fine. I also tried to switch to 
2.6 kernel (you need to copy the kernel and image.rd to the 
linux-kernels-directory inside sytemfolder of macos)... The only trouble 
I got was with the display, so I got stripes running down the screen. 
But this is a problem I sooner also encountered it's got to do with 
resolution and colour depth. When these are too high this stripes 
appear, so I guess it's got to do with the graphic memory, or something 
like this.
But besides this 2.6 started perfect and does a good job.
And if it doesen't work, just keep the backup 2.4 image before the try. 
It's easy to switch back (just restore the 2.4 image to the linux - 
kernels  directory used for boot x)

Hope this helps,

Rainer
