Thanks for the config. I did some comparisons between my config and

keep my 2.6 kernel really stripped down to fit onto a floppy so maybe
I'm accidentally removing something that's really quite necessary.
So maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. . .When I boot
the kernel on my Powerbook 520c, EMILE successfully loads the kernel
and ramdisk and I then see tux with these few messages:
I didn't even know the Powerbook 520c was supported. :)
Well, there is a photo of a PB 5x0 on the Emile site. The bootloader looks
fine but I don't know if Laurent got the kernel to work (?)

You could try an old kernel. It would be good to know whether this is a
regression or not.

The 68LC040 hardware didn't get much attention due to missing FPU and some
buggy CPUs. However, the linux-mac68k 2.4.1 kernel apparently got some
powerbook testing,

I don't know whether these kernels will fit on a floppy.
I tested 2.6.12 on a PB 150 some years ago but didn't have much success. I
don't have a PB 5x0 to test.

Hopefully one of the gurus can help you out.
Peace,
