Comments/Problems:
I tried booting on IBM 7046-B50.
I used the image, vmlinuz-chrp.initrd, from 2005.12.28 and 2005.8.15 directory.
Because the initrd.gz in daily folder couldn't be unzipped, I tried two older images.
But it was failed as the following
I upgraded this machine's firmware about 10 days ago.
My machine is now IBM RS6000 7046-B50, CHRP with 512MB.
