Linux kernel 2.6 on IBM RS/6000 7025-F40

[Christophe Simon]

Hi there,

Did someone succeeded in compiling a running 2.6 kernel on an IBM RS/6000 
7025-F40 (PReP arch) ? I have one of these machines, and it runs with a 
2.4.22 kernel built using the instructions gathered on 
http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/

It seems that this machine is quite problematic.

I tried to compile my own kernel with a stock 2.6.16.19, and after that 
2.6.7 patched with the files I found for the 2.6.7 (at 
http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.6.7/), but the system refuses to 
boot with those twoo kernels  (the machine reboots or freezes before writing 
any piece of information on the console...).

The site seems not to move anymore, and I'd like to have a 2.6 kernel 
running because of his better performances ans extended functionalities, and 
I'd like not to be stalled on 2.4.22 kernel...

I crawled the web hours and hours (Google is my friend, but it didn't help 
me...) and I didn't find anything...

Could someone help me !

Thanks a lot !

Christophe SIMON
