1 Folks,

3 First, thanks for the outstanding job on the stages and the compilers.
4 stage3 dropped right onto a HD, I followed the ppc instructions (for the
5 most part, this is embedded, not Mac). and all the critical services
6 (cron, syslog, etc) merged cleanly.
7
8 unfortunately, the kernel is being a pain. I compile it with the native
9 compiler supplied by the stage3 (for simplicities sake). Unfortunately,
10 none of the following files are recognized by the bootloader as valid
11 kernels:

29 Yes, this is my first time doing this, obviously :) The kernel needs to
30 be less than 1048576 bytes in order to be loaded into the flash... I
31 got that part, barely.
32
33 Here is:
34
35 [root@10] # cat /proc/cpuinfo
36 processor : 0
37 cpu : 82xx
38 revision : 16.20 (pvr 8081 1014)
39 bogomips : 221.18
40 machine : SBE HighWire HW400c/M
41 board : SBE HighWire HW400c/M
42 clock : 333MHz
43
44 Anyone know what I'm missing? I know it must be something simple, this
45 is my only roadblock right now.

47 tia,

49 Cooper.
