Hi! thanks for the prompt answer. actually I've messed things up slightly. The kernel that I could boot with relative success was a frame buffer enabled one from Ilia (http://www.total-knowledge.com/progs/mips/kernels/ vmlinux.64-20040315). > The IP32 Netboot I have requires you to setup an NFS-exportable root for it > to work properly ... There should be an initrd link in the ip32 directory -- > use that for NFS root, and pass at minimum 'root=/dev/nfs > this I've tried already, but the thing is that the netboot kernel does not go beyond telling me what the entry point was. I've also tried to use the kernel from Ilya with the same root. There, everything would hang after starting the initrd script. > and it's advised you run off of serial console (if you > aren't already). > actually, I don't. I don't have a serial console/cable in my possetion and was intending to actually use the display/keyboard combination to perform the installation. Would it be possible? Can you advise me where to get a suitable netboot kernel? Regards, Max
