Hi Chuck, *, here's some more progress:

For those who want to play a bit, I've put this up on a temp-web-site
(see below).

There is acutally no trouble packing an initrd with the kernel -
provided one knows how to do it. :-)
All you need to do is place your ramdisk named "ramdisk.image.gz" at
arch/ppc/boot/images/ in your source-tree and then compile the kernel
with "make zImage.initrd". Now the final kernel.1000 will carry your
image inside without needing to do any other thing. ...
However, currently I'm stuck, because after pivoting the root
I cannot mount devfs (which appears to be not available for ppc arch)
and the /sbin/init from the apple.tar.gz LTSP-root-fs does either not
work or not start properly ;-(
My konsole tells me:
[...]
Mounting the devfs filesystem
mount: Mounting /devfs on /dev failed: No such device
Running /sbin/init
... and then it locks up.
Anyone who wants to try a bit look in
http://www.hegner-web.de/pub/netstation/ for the following:
vmlinuz-2.4.34.1000 # NS1000 kernel with hard-coded NFS-root to
# /NetworkStationV2/prodbase/linuxppc. For
# root-fs from networkstation.aytolacoruna.es
config-34 # .config for that build
ramdisk.image.gz # my initrd based on your
initrd-ppc-2.4.22-ltsp-1
# but without your modules
vmlinuz-2.4.34-ltsp-1.1000 # NS1000 kernel for ltsp-ppc that runs /linuxrc
# from initrd packed with the kernel
config-30.01.2007-ltsp # .config for this build (use make
zImage.initrd)
Could you also please answer me this old question?

Am I right, that there is no "official" ltsp-ppc around?
Any feedback regarding the kernel (especially the ltsp-initrd one) is
most welcome, as well as some hints as to how to move on!
Thanks
Stefan.
