Maybe some bad things happened in newer kernels. ironically, now that i am able to netboot the machine, i'm not *using* it anymore. but i'm building PReP kernel everyday, results and a config-file is here: http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/latest-kernel/ > Can you put a working zImage.prep somewhere on the web (<1.44 MB, so I can > write it to a floppy disk)? yes, i'll upload working zImage.prep + .config here: http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/prep/ > How does your boot.log looks like? i'll upload a boot.log too.
