Hi Somsak:

Please refer to this official site:

http://www.ydl.net/support/hardware/ibm.shtml

Note that IBM JS2x series is supported by a different Fixstars product
called Yellow Dog Enterprise Linux BSP.  Clicking on that link will
take you here: 

http://www.fixstars.com/en/products/ydel/

The pages discussing YDEL describe in detail what this
enhanced/specialized version of YDL is.  You will notice that although
there is no mention of JS2x support on the YDEL pages, probably due to
recent changes at Fixstars, there are links to contacts within Fixstars
where you can ask for more details regarding JS2x support utilizing
YDEL.

Note that YDEL is a commercial and proprietary product.  YDL however,
the version you tried to use is designed to be an open source product
over a brief period of time after it's official release.  There always
has been a distinction between YDEL and YDL.

I am not connected with Fixstars nor can I provide more detailed
information than what I've shared with you here.  Please follow the
recommended advice and contact Fixstars directly for more information.
