Hi, |
| 2 |

I have a similar problem trying to boot any kernel more recent than |
| 4 |
2.6.11. I am currently net-booting a 2.6.11-r8 kernel which works fine. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The errors which I have experienced so far include: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Illegal Instruction |
| 9 |
Memory Address not Aligned |
| 10 |
Data Access Exception |
| 11 |
Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss |
| 12 |
IDPROM: Warning, unknown format type! |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
They seem to change depending on the size of the kernel image which I am |
| 15 |
attempting to boot and the version from which it was built. Other than |
| 16 |
that there is no obvious rhyme nor reason. |

There is a forum post with similar (unresolved) issues here: |

If 2.6.11 was still in portage I would suggest that you tried that but |
| 22 |
as it isn't.... |
