Can we investigate if it comes from the powerpc-small config or not ? Mmm, i should probably look into the logs ... Seems to be only powerpc-small kernels used. Notice that for 2.6 based floppies, which is not what Rick is using, the swim module should be builtin. I also wonder if the floppy module is needed or not in order for the kernel to load the initrd on the root floppy ?
