Salut Herbert,

hm, on BenH's page is described how to rsync his linux kernel version for powermacs, which runs on other ppc machines, too.

If you type rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh . you will download the latest benh version of kernel 2.4 to your current directory (warning, lots of megabytes).

Forget about BootX, BenH just codes this as well....

jo, Stoffel.

Thanks,

But I don't use BootX. I don't know hacking tips for IBM PPC B50 machines with Linux so I'm a little lost here.

If you can help me a little more I'll be very thanks.

Herbert

Salut Herbert,

try BenH's kernel which you can rsync from rsync.penguinppc.org. Look at penguinppc.org/~benh for a complete explanation.

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to update the Linux Kernel of a SuSE 7.1 PPC instaled on a IBM B50 PReP CHRP with Kernel 2.4.2.

I've tryed getting the original unpatched 2.4.18 kernel, compiled, instaled, and it does not run. It freezes during "loading".

I also tryed getting installing the 2.4.16 kernel binaries but the modules are missing.

Anyone please help me... I'd like to keep my servers with the last stable linux kernel, but I'm new to PPC/Linux servers.

[]s,

Herbert
