Hi,
I try to boot linux-2.6.4 from OpenFirmware on my Apple iBook2 (dual
USB). I'm using the image named "vmlinux.elf-pmac". While linux-2.4.25
boots fine, linux-2.6.4 doesn't without the following modifications:

(I found this procedure by trial and error, by mixing stuff from 2.4
into the build of 2.6.)
If I try to boot the stock kernel, OpenFirmware tells me "Claim
failed", and returns to the command prompt.
Does anybody have an idea what is the cause of this?
Thanks,
Martin
