Do you have the config file of the kernel used ? If so, can you send it to me ? > > > I did not realize that the devfs option now is required.

I guess it hangs when gunzipping the kernel, don't know why exactly though. I have seen a similar thing happening for me, and it was with a softbooted copy of the OF, so i guess some problems with the way it is run or something. The actual code for this is in the gunzip code in arch/ppc/boot/lib/zlib.c or something such. Difficult thing to debug. Could you try the chrp version (without the -rs6k ?). Friendly, Sven Luther
