Yes, i'am booting with yaboot, works fine.

As far as i understand now, the 32bit Kernel is ok for me (512MB Ram) and
no need in the moment for the 64bit Stuff.

Yes, it would be nice if you could send me your .config File !

Do i understand right ?
- bk clone kb://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.4 linux-2.4
- Copy your .config to linux-2.4
- make dep zImage modules modules_install
- Copy arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.chrp /boot/vmlinx
- reboot this kernel

By the way, is this the right way to communicate with such a Mailing-List,
or am'i doing something wrong ?

Regards,

Daniel
