Thank you so much! That worked to get over the prom_init.
unfortunately, I still cannot boot. It gets a kernel panic wand
outputs:
VFS: unable to open root "/dev/hda11" or unknown-block(0,0)
add root= with correct root device to boot line
kernel panic - cannot open root filesystem
reboot in 180 seconds...
I used "/dev/hda9" (my boot partition), "/dev/ram0", "hd:11", etc in
various combinations as kernel options for root= and real_root= . with
root=/dev/ram0 and real_root=/dev/hda11, it said unknown-block(1,0)
instead. Is there an easy fix for this? should I be using OF or Linux
HD naming? any other ideas?
thank you so much again,
Nick

hello,
I have installed Gentoo PPC (2005.1) on my 800 Mhz Titanium PowerBook

following which I would like:
2) I have a problem with my kernel. When I try to boot off of a
kernel that I complied myself, it always gives " returning*
0x01400000 from prom_init"* as an error in the Open Firmware white
background, then NO MORE TEXT is outputted, and it freezes.
Apparently, this error is common with powermac G5's (except with more
text and a return to the OF prompt), but why my old powerbook has it
I do not know. to compile the kernel, I ran
make clean dep modules modules_install vmlinux
dep was not needed. My system says making the vmlinux image worked
fine. however, it does not boot, instead giving the above error. Any
ideas on how I could get it to work?
You haven't compiled in a framebuffer device. On that machine you
need to have RadeonFB compiled into your kernel.
