HI all, I have many IBM Network Station 1000 Thin Clients and I would like to run Linux on them. They have a ppc 603eV @ 200MHz, PCI bus, and common Ethernet interface and VGA. They are booting an IBM kernel (ELF format) from a server by NFS or TFTP. Because I think booting over network is common for embedded boards I am posting here...
I tried to download a SuSE PPC kernel image (just for fun) The boot monitor starts downloading the kernel, but it displays a wrong size (much smaller than the kernel) and gives an error message before starting the kernel (corrupt kernel image or so). Is this common, or should I expect that the firmware does a checksum calculation so that using a linux kernel isn't possible? I am completely new in linux ppc computing. I will be pleased if you give me some hints on how to start. ;-) Kind regards, Okke ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
