It's a rescue kernel, and I had to work around the fact that I did not have residual data. Thanks to Eric Valette, and transitive thanks to all the developers that he thanked... now I just have to figure out how to get a full blown installation happening to disk. Problems so far: It finds the NCR scsi controller chip, but ends up timing out on some scsi command. I don't know what the command is yet. With this problem, I can't get at the disk and the cdrom. It finds two IDE controllers as expected. No problem here. It finds the 21140 ethernet chip, and programs it for MII. I use ifconfig to configure it, however RX seems to work but not TX. Weird. If anyone can provide help, I'm at somer@nortel.ca. Hopefully this is not related to not having residual data.... Cheers, -Jim [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
