If so, > what distribution did you use? I've never managed to boot a kernel I built. A year ago I did manage to get the Ubuntu 5.10 bootable CD to boot though. (Of course the _install_ CD refused to boot. Possibly specifying a hard drive image as well as a CD confused it.) I couldn't get anything newer to boot. Possibly it was because I upgraded qemu? Is -kernel expected to work with qemu-system-ppc? I note that http://www.qemu.org/download.html has test images for sparc, arm, mips, misel, and x86. I can attest that x86-64 also works, and could provide a test image if somebody wanted. But they don't have a ppc test image, and I haven't managed to make one yet... > Thanks, > --Ed Rob -- Vista: Windows Millenium Second Edition
