Hi Sven,<br><br>I've installed using a gentoo livecd and using the debian ppc64 chroot enviroment downloaded from<br><a href="http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/ppc64-chroot.tar.bz2">
http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/ppc64-chroot.tar.bz2
</a>.<br><br>after this I've copied to my sda3 and chroot into it ...<br>after this I used the apt-get to download the source kernel 2.6.18, I've configured and compiled it.<br>I've set too the fstab manually and use the yabootconfig command to setup the prep partition and point to my kernel.
<br><br>After a restart I saw that yaboot was ok and the kernel started to boot successfully, but <br>after this messages it stoped.<br>INIT: Entering runlevel: 2<br>Starting system log daemon: syslogd.<br>Starting kernel log daemon: klogd.
<br>Starting MTA: exim4.<br>Starting internet superserver: inetd.<br>Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.<br>Starting deferred execution scheduler: atdStarting periodic command scheduler: cron.<br><br>and staied here forever.
<br><br>Do you know what can be wrong ?<br><br>Thanks<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/26/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Sven Luther</b> <<a href="mailto:sven.luther@wanadoo.fr">sven.luther@wanadoo.fr</a>> wrote:

<br>argument. There is a bunch of builtin console arguments, but this is not<br>exactly working fully, but should be ok on an LPAR.<br><br>Alternatively, you can grab the yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinux and initrd.gz<br>from the same directory, put them on your tftp server, adapt the
yaboot.conf.<br>you would need to boot them through dhcp though.<br><br>Friendly,<br><br>Sven Luther<br></blockquote></div><br>
