What > was the exact problem you had? Well, the 2.2.0pre6 kernel I downloaded didn't even boot. Not from OF when I downloaded it in Linux, and not from BootX when I downloaded it in the MacOS. And I downloaded different ones each time, to get the appropriate compression for the OS. In BootX, it just printed the "Welcome to Linux" line and hung. It didn't do much better in OF, as I recall. I also downloaded a 2.2.7 kernel from someone at MIT who gave me a URL, but while it worked better, it still wasn't actually useable. It did the same thing as the one I compiled from the 2.2.7 source. It did all the initial stuff, started init, printed the message about swap, and then started printing the spinlock errors. I hope someone has some idea what's happening here. I know my second processor works, because I've used it in the MacOS and BeOS...
