<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have downloaded and compiled the generic
Linux kernel 2.6.13.3 for my JS-20 PPC IBM BladeServer. When I attempt
to boot the new kernel I get the following output. Has anyone successfully
tried to run the generic 2.6.13.3 kernel on a JS-20 or have any idea what
I am doing wrong? As a word of caution, I am a Kernel newbie, so
I might have done, or omitted something stupid.</font>
