Thanks Joseph Doss I cant answer your query directly, but I also use an Amiga and as well as this m/l I am subbed to the Linux-Apus list, they deal with Amiga specific questions, tho keep subbed to this one as well. ;-) Check out #https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-apus-user# and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards -- John Experience is directly proportional to the value of equipment destroyed. -- Carolyn Scheppner mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lordofchaos.co.uk ICQ 110130385 Nick = Chaos A1200 BlizzardPPC 240mhz 060/50 BlizzardVision OS3.9

Thanks Joseph Doss Further to that I meant to ask what kernel are you using, you can get the ones compiled for the Amiga from the sourceforge site, and you also need the Amiga specific bootstrap which will enable you to boot initially from a AFFS partition then initiate and mount the Linux side, works well here.

You need to keep a bootable AmigaOS partition, and run amiboot from the S:Startup-Sequence to load the linux kernel and reboot into linux. My A2000 is in bits right now, otherwise I'd give you more detailed incantations. Have another look at the installation notes, I'm pretty certain the whole process is adequately described there.
