Did you try booting kernel.elf directly? Yes. It was fine. No "CLAIM failed". The only problem is that is was useless because it could not load any module without "apple" and "hfs". I only said "I assume" because there is a subtle difference between a "valid ELF file" and "indistinguishable for kernel.elf". It should be valid and acceptable to the OpenFirmware, and the later is a black box to me. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
