When I boot the kernel on the EP405 though, I get a couple of boot error messages. The kernel continues booting however and gets to a login prompt, if I try to login though it fails. Can anyone provide me with information about the errors I'm getting. Specifically, the "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4" and the "mknod: `/dev/ptmx': Operation not permitted" errors. I would like to know where I would find the char-major-4 module or why the kernel can't find it. Here are the boot messages and a failed login attempt. Thanks guys. >g [Go 00000000] loaded at: 00000000 0008E1D0 relocated to: 00400000 0048E1D0 board data at: 0048B128 0048B140 relocated to: 00405694 004056AC zimage at: 00405D30 0048A528 avail ram: 0048F000 04000000 Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=128.138.189.51:/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target ip=128.138.189.65:128.138.189. 51::255.255.255.0:sme.colorado.edu:: Uncompressing Linux...done.
