Hi Jackson,

that is correct -- that is you have to MAKE the ROM image yourself using
the Rom-grabber utility that I was talking about before. Read the help in
that.

No - you will HAVE to make a Rom as stated above. Otherwise upgrade to
8.6 and use that.

rsync it from various places... See linuxppc user for latest, seach on
fsmlabs;rsync or rsync;kernel. Actually this will give a more modern
2.2.18 w/ input layer kernel, the complications of which you probably do
not want, but suffice to say you have to upgrade some other stuff or
NOTHING will work. I would recommend trying to find somewhere with an
older kernel source in tar.gz format.

Choose to include the sound => no module, choose to modularise sound =>
need module. If module then you will need the make modules, make
modules_install steps.

RE: cpuinfo. Your bogomips are quite low. I would suggest reading
linuxppc-user for posts about BootX v1.2* giving very slow machines, and
try the downgrade to BootX 1.1.3 (?) that they discuss. search on
BootX;1.1.3
RE: mol compiled for 2.2.18 If you rsync this probably will not be a
problem. If you do not like the messages rebuild MOL with
rpm --rebuild mol-xxxx.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/Redhat/SRPMS/mol-xx.ppc.rpm
This will rebuild MOL to be appropriate for the kernel source that you
have installed.
Best of luck,
Q.
