Can you try one of these images? based on linuxppc_2_4 /mirror/SuSE/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/zImage.chrp-rs6k based on linuxppc_2_4_devel /mirror/SuSE/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/sleep/zImage.chrp-rs6k One guy reported that it boots with a plain kernel.org tree, so it cant be too hard.
