thanks for the tip. I tried this, however it did not make any
difference. when rebooting, the tuck boot logo appears
but nothing happens after that.. here is a picture:
http://aeh.db.org/howto/linux-powerpc-8200/boot_tuck.jpg
this is my quik.conf file:
## This file generated during installation.
## Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC
init-message="Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC (woody)"
default=Linux
timeout=100
root=/dev/sda3
partition=3
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.15-1-powerpc
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-powerpc
any help is appreciated, thanks!
