The vmlinuz kernel is created on the fly by mkvmlinuz, but you can just as well ignore it for your purpose. It is i believe the .coff kernel, which you may be able to boot directly from the OF of your oldworld pmac, but nobody tried this in ages. > The vmlinux-2.6.8-3-powerpc seems to work well, but I'd like to know > it's a valid one, not yet another relic from me starting a kernel > upgrade and not copying everything over to BootX in order to actually > get it running :) This is indeed the one used by quik or bootx, and even miboot, so this is the one you need.
