Thanks again Christoph, Today I had successfuly compiled a new kernel for RS/6000 B50. I found a patch for ppc in kernel.org FTP. This patch worked for the original linux kernel 2.4.18 from ftp.kernel.org very well. Now I'm running the newest kernel! Thanks again!

Salut Herbert,

hm. I'm not a rs/6000 export, though, but ....

...

I tryed and again I had the same problem... The server freezes on "Elf32 kernel loaded..."

Where do you boot from? Do you use yaboot? How have you compiled the kernel? Use 'make dep && make clean && make modules && make vmlinux && make modules_install' to compile your kernel. You cannot boot a compressed kernel image (like on i386, zImage, etc...)

Or: Is it possible that the system continues booting after the message "Elf32 kernel loaded" but has no video support?

...

Any idea?

Well, just guessing ;) Stoffel.
