Are you trying to boot the vmlinux.gz w/o aboot? Ie. directly from the SRM-promt? As i didn't 'violate' still the installation generation process, there is not that small boot.iso even included. I am not sure if i can fit this on 3xCD anymore, if i make one for use. So sadly one needs to get full CD1 and use that for booting after burning it to some CD-R/RW media and boot like >> boot dqa0 or which ever is the is the CD-device on box. I am not too familiar still with the netbooting and i am not sure if the generic.img would be netbootable. > > I try to decompress on another Alpha machine that has > a debian sarge installed, end the error it is the > same.

I am middle of making CentOS-4/s390 now as i do have access to LPAR and the box is literally eating huge amounts of electricity, so i try to get that done as fast as the box can compile it for me :) After that i am looking the alpha version again to start polishing it a bit. > > What information do you need?? > That was about it, i think.
