HI. I re-installed the Sarge through netinstall, dual boot with OSX. I recompiled the kernel 2.6.14.2 (the lastest), and it did not work, no matter wat I tried.
So I found this page: http://www.ncc.up.pt/~rvr/kh/kh.html along woth several others, I followd the guides on the debian page: http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ It wass incredible how the kernel would not work. At first I thought I gave it the wrong options, so I jest took the working kernel of the first link, using the 2.6.14.2. That did not work either. I though it was due to the newer kernel that the one the config was made for. So I followed step by step the instuction and used the 2.6.12 of the guide. NO WAY. Then I found a discussion where it said to chose all the modules by hand, that loading an external .config may cause some problems (never heard before, but you never know...). And I did. NO CHANCE. I made the recompile correctly. make menuconfig make bzImage make make modules make modules_install cp bzImage /boot/vmlinux.new ybin -v this is my /etc/yaboot.conf boot=/dev/hda2 device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: partition=4 root=/dev/hda4 timeout=30 install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot enablecdboot macosx=/dev/hda5 defaultos=linux default=Linux image=/boot/vmlinux.new label=new read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img image=/boot/vmlinux label=Linux read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img image=/boot/vmlinux.old label=old read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img The complete error says: UDF-fs No partition found(1) hotsync VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(3,4) http://www.google.it/search?q=hotsync+VFS%3A+unable+to+mount+root+fs+on+unknown+block&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial In order to try to solve my problem I googled a lot through ML an BB, Howtos, but I did not find satisfactory answers. So I though I could ask you right away: does any of you have a working .config (customised) for a powerbook 12 1.33Ghz? Thanks.
