thanks;
the IBM 7248-133 (43P) Power PC is a 'prep' machine
and only boots from an IBM partition
load a image 'zImage.prep' to SDA1 and load
the linux software (root) on to an another
partition (SDA3) SDA2 is swap in my
case.
power on the PC and it boots.
rebuilding sarge with the latest sarge kernel and
proper config builds a zImage.prep
it is a kernel(vmlinuz) and a (boot) loader, there
is no grub or yaboot involved.
it 'runs' just find, mail and apache2 work
o.k.
with etch no such image is built, at least I have
not found it.
searched the source tree for zImage.prep, and none
was found.
any more ideas?
thanks;
dale

I installed etch on a 7044 using the net install cd after
installing new firmware from IBM.

hi there;
I have a IBM power-pc 7248 model
and would like to upgrade the O.S. (linux
debian sarge)
to etch...
have tried to build a new kernel on the
7248
and as of yet not gotten a zImage.prep
built
seems that the build (make) does not 'make'
a image for this machine anymore.
the latest sarge kernel works (builds) just
fine.
thanks for any help
