YDL 4 on Beige G3 ?

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

Has anyone already had success setting up YDL 4 on an oldworld machine 
using BootX ?

So far, I didn't manage.

Just like in list message

I get similar output during boot. It ends with a 'mon>' prompt at which 
I could type things. It's no traditional shell though, since it doesn't 
respond to ls or things like that, but rather shows me memory addresses 
and register values.

So I suppose my kernel isn't booting either, but I don't know why 
exactly. According to me, it can't be a CD issue, since the kernel 
should be loaded from my MacOS (9) partition, together with a ramdisk on 
the same volume.

On the other hand, the Ubuntu kernels are also version 2.6.8, and I can 
boot those. Would there be an option omitted in the YDL kernel 
configuration that make I can't boot it ? BTW, the MacOS 9 partition is 
hfs+, although this hasn't mattered until now as all other kernels I 
used work just fine.

Any suggestions ?


Thanks,

Geert Jan
