Greetings; I know someone must be running this version, but I can't get it to boot.
I have installed vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-s390 and initrd.img-2.6.8-2-s390 right from debian/testing. I think it is a problem with my kernel parameters but I can't find the right combination. The best results that I ever get end up like this: devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for <NULL>0 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 1024 bind 2048) NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 10 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver NET: Registered protocol family 17 RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 1580 blocks -1 disk- into ram disk... done.

I get these messages right after I boot: 00: Booting default...
