I compiled a 2.6.16-rc1, this worked OK.Then I put it (vmlinux) in my root ditectory of the first and only disk together with the yaboot stuff and tried to launch it via OF boot prompt like:
boot hd0:/dev/disk0s3, yabootThis seamed to launched some code and spit out about 10 lines of some numbers/tables I really cant get a real glimpse on, were there only for much less then a second and then I ended up with and kind of grey "Forbidden" sign (graphics, a circle with diagonal line) on a black screen.
