I'm running Lenny on PowerMacs 8200 (PPC601) and 6400 (PPC603ev).
Kernel 2.6.26, booting with BootX 1.2.2.
I was unable to boot, until I managed to make the initrd.img small
enough, around 4 MB. I think the one on the install CD was small
enough.

Hi Frank,
To begin with, I must say that this is not the easiest way of getting
