Re: ppc compilation question: G3 with 2.4.18 kernel

[Thedore Knab <tjk@annapolislinux.org>]

Never mind.

I figured this one out by myself also.

I was using the wrong CPU type in the kernel code.

a cat /proc/cpuinfo

cpu as a 740/750

So I changed the kernel to use
the 6xx/7xx/8260 Processor type, and it worked.

I am having trouble getting the PPC kernel to load on a blue G3 box.

I recently downloaded the deb kernel-source-2.4.18.

After compiling, and installing the kernel, I get the following error on
boot. Any ideas what this means ?

Boot Screen
...
Please wait while loading kernel.

To compile the kernel I did the following.
    make menuconfig
        selected G3 processor
        selected IPtables stuff as modules
        deselected sound
    make dep
    make clean
    make vmlinux
    make modules
    make modules_install

    cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.18
    cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18

    
I am using /etc/yaboot.conf. 
I ran mkofboot -v to install yaboot.

The old kernel boots.
The new one dies.

/etc/yaboot.conf file
