Hi Finn,
Yes, actually I have tried an older prebuilt kernel that Laurent made. It was a 2.2.x series kernel, and it did at least get passed the point that my 2.6.x kernel did before kernel panicking later on. Maybe I should try a 2.4.x kernel to see what happens.
Thanks,
J Silverman

Obviously I have to
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,
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11666
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,
Stephen
