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
