Hi *
I run into a different problems with my mac mini and LFS. I didn't find answers in the book and am not sure, if there is a list with ppc topics. So if I'm wrong in this list, please let me know.
I have a running LFS system, but I'm not able to use my own kernel. I have copied one of yellow-dog-linux. So I guess, yaboot and all the boot stuff is correct.
As soon as I copy one of my kernels, the system hangs or comes up with a of boot error message.
a) does this sound as a known problem of beginners?
b) in the arch/ppc/boot/images directory of the kernel, I found 6 or 7
files that might be kernels. which one do I have to copy into my /boot directory?
(none of the i386 systems I set up had similar problems)
(and yes, I did use some .config file of ydl (though I'm not sure it was the most recent one))
Whenever I build kernels on the ppc, I just use the uncompressed kernel, the 'vmlinux' file that shows up in the top of the kernel tree after you're done compiling.
Although it's not 100% complete, and may contain a few bugs, there's a multi-arch LFS book under development with a ppc section. It might be a good reference for you:
