Stefan,
You should be able to use SuSE's zImage.chrp with our ramdisk.image.gz to
install YDL on your B50. There is a kernel bug that is preventing ramdisk
loading from working in the Linux kernel. We are not quite sure why SuSE's
kernel works (nor do folks at SuSe know why it works and everyone elses
doesn't)... I'm literally putting at least a few ours into this very issue
on a daily basis. Folks at the IBM Linux Technology Center are also
assisting with debugging of this problem...
> Hi, I've been trying (Unsuccessfully of course) to instal YDL on several IBM RS/6000 B50's all of which don't have graphic cards on (I've ordered 8 to IBM but haven't received them yet). I was wondering if someone has already compiled a boot floppy image for CS 1.2 with serial console support on and could send it to me via e-mail.
