Hi Sven,
maybe I'm just stupid - but I am not able to get an image built that can
be netbooted or put into the prep-bootloader partition. Looking at the
sources I wonder how you do it for the debian linux-images-* as the only
Makefile where it seems to generate a "zImage.prep" automagically is in
arch/ppc/boot/simple/Makefile. But that doesn't work, I guess, because
CONFIG_PPC_PREP doesn't exist anymore (at least I couldn't find it in
"menuconfig" or in the ".config" file).
Before trying to build a kernel myself I tried the debian linux binary
image. An image for powerpc is not there yet so I used rc7. I netbooted
"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-rc7-powerpc" and the result was that I got a lot
of output saying that there is something wrong. I assume the output was
from the firmware because the kernel usually doesn't report an endless
list of errors saying something about "stack exception" every now and
then and mostly printing zeros followed by a new line character.
After that I copied the config from that kernel, downloaded the debian
sources of 2.6.15, enabled ISA and some alsa ISA sound drivers and run
into the trouble above.
