Hi,
I am trying to build the latest kernel from penguinppc.org and having a problem. I am just wondering if there is some Mandrake specific configuration that I don't know about. I used to do this all the time when I used linuxppc but have never built one with Mandrake (or any other distro for that matter) Basically it seems to hang at the point where the scsi driver is being loaded for scsi emulation for my cd burner on an ibook2 (which also happens to be one of the first things that happens in the boot so the driver may not be significant). It complains a few times that / is not mounted and then stops booting. I followed the ibook specific instructions on ibooklinux.net so I think I haven't misconfigured the kernel. I also am fairly confident that I didn't screw up the yaboot.conf entry because I have written many a yaboot.conf when I used linuxppc and yaboot isn't even included in the install so you have to set it up yourself. I made the entry look exactly like the ones made by the install except changed the named of the image and label. I'm not sure why they use ramdisk because I thought that was for installs but I gave yaboot.conf the ramdisk entries just like the ones made by the install. So now that I've probably given too much information, is there something I don't know about in the Mandrake distro that I could screw up making my kernel never mount / that I didn't have to do back when I used linuxppc? Thanks if anyone can give me any pointers, but I understand you all don't consider this an appropriate question for the cooker list and decide not to answer. I hope someone does though.
