Hi,
I'm still trying to boot LinucPPC on this board. Thanks to new kernel
images provided by G. Paubert in his site I could obtain some new
results (not a success but at least this time the boot is going a bit
further).
The board has no drive, so I tried two versions of the kernel image: the
initrd and the nfsroot, (this last try was to see if something different
happens, becauase I do not have a NFS root tree for the PPC).
When I boot the zImage.initrd-2.2.4 kernel I get these messages:

and here it freeze and I have t reset the board.
My questions are:
I have to give some parameter at the boot prompt?
And the ram disk image that the README said to be inside the file
initrd.gz
is still inside the kernel image or it must be loade from this file?
It seems quite strange to me also the message:
OpenPIC Version ? (2 CPUs and 17 IRQ sources) at d1000000
Why 2 CPU?
The results of the zImage.nfsroot boot was obiuvsly different:

My question are:
Is the way I gave the boot parameter (root=/dev/nfs) right?
I exported an empty /home/ppc directory on the same PC that I used as
tftp server, but how the board can recognize just this directory? And
what files I have to put in this directory?
Many thanks to everybody for the help!
Ciao
