Hello

Can anyone help me.. I have YDL 2.0 and the following hardware:

Power Macintosh 9600
216MB RAM
Formac 400Mhz G3 upgrade card.
ATI Rage Orion 16MB graphics card.
Keyspan USB card
Sonnet Tempo ATA interface card (latest firmware):

                                1 x 40GB ATA drive (MacOS 9.1)
                                1 x 4GB SCSI drive (blank for YDL)

When I try to boot either of the RAM disk images, the screen blanks and I
get the following:

Welcome to Linux Kernel 2.2.19 - 1k

Started at: 0x00000000
Linked at: 0xc0000000
Framebuffer at: 0x96008000 (phys), 0x96008000(log)
MSR: 0x00000042
HID0: 0x0291c22c
ICTC: 0x00000000

Booting Linux.....

It then hangs for several minutes not doing anything, after a while it will
reboot itself.

I suspect this is something to do with the Sonnet card as I successfully
installed LinuxPPC in the past when I had 2 SCSI Hard Drives.

Do I need to use another Kernel or do something else?

Thanks

Adrian Finn
