[cobalt-developers] Booting a new kernel on a Raq4i



Hi,

I have found this email address while searching how to change the boot kernel 
on a cobalt Raq4i. If you are bothered by my question, I apologize, just 
discard my mail.


What I'm trying to do is to install a Debian distribution on a Cobalt.
I've installed all the stuff and I'm able to boot when saying set_params 
"root=/dev/hda3" at the serial prompt.

But I never succeded to tell the eeprom to directly boot my own kernel (which 
is a 2.4.1). When booting with bfd, it load the eeprom kernel (a 2.2.14) and 
never succed to mount the root fs !

I've try to put a gzipped staticaly linked ELF vmlinux in the /boot directory 
like I readed in the article where I've seen your address, but that doesn't 
worked !

Could you please help me ? Or tell me where I could find help ?

Best regards,
Olivier Molteni.
