Hello,I told bootx to use the ramdisk in the bootx options "use specific ramdisk" but I still get a kernel panic when booting.I just tried the 2.6 kernel from http://www.ppckernel.org./download/official-stable-pmac/linux-official-stable-pmac-2.6.14.3.tar.bz2 and that one worked,even without a ramdisk.I will try that with the initrd-tools. Thanks for the help, Derek
