Ok, I've finally found a laptop with a working serial port and have been able to try building a kernel on my own. Unfortunately, the kernel I've built doesn't seem to be bootable by the cobalt. It makes it through the two "Decompressing" stages, and stops cold in its tracks. I have built the kernel to be fairly small, with the compressed size being 569,344 bytes, and the uncompressed kernel being 1,552,384 bytes. Although I've not come up with an exact answer as to the maximum size of the kernel permitted by the cobalt's firmware, the one built by Paul Martin that I'm using now is 1,665,024 bytes decompressed. I'm not sure why this kernel won't boot, as I'm clearly under the maximum allowed size. I suspect that I may have screwed something up during the kernel configuration. I have posted my kernel config to my webspace at http://www.aboleo.net/config-cobalt . If anyone out there would be so kind as to take a look at it, I would be most appreciative.
