I used the image, vmlinuz-chrp.initrd, from 2005.12.28 and 2005.8.15 directory. Because the initrd.gz in daily folder couldn't be unzipped, I tried two older images. But it was failed as the following I upgraded this machine's firmware about 10 days ago. My machine is now IBM RS6000 7046-B50, CHRP with 512MB. .
