i don't need any of the 2.6.23 functionality - I was just really trying the 2.6.23 kernel to make sure nothing major was broken with it.
I *could* use bootp I suppose, but that would require a tftp service someplace - suppose that's not so hard. I will probably just wait for an update, or find the newer aboot sources, or figure our how to remove the offending PT_NOTE entries if necessary. I already boot without using an initrd image, so that's all kinda taken care of already I guess :). ...tom On Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:41:54 -0400, Jay Estabrook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tom Evans wrote: >> I was trying to boot 2.6.23-rc1 a few weeks ago.
