One of us doesn't understand the other :-) The 'piggyback' loaders are in arch/ppc/boot. These are wrappers around a compressed kernel. Their purpose is to take a boot environment, that you likely can't modify, and convert it to something suitable for linux before uncompressing/booting the kernel. > I had to fight some time, but finaly i got it to work. :) I don't understand how. The 8xx has internal boot parameters that must get initialized by a piggyback loader. How did you do that? Thanks. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
