hello folks

I recently tried the GeexBox on X86 and saw that the PPC version was out as well. That would be wonderful to have it running on Pegasos. Unfortunately i trid to boot the kernel but failed. I'm far from being a specialist so i'd like to know if someone succeeded in running it on Peg.
Geexbox is a very small distro (5mo on X86, 11Mo on PPC) who boots on a standalone mediaplayer (DVD, Divx...). Very nive to have it on a USB stick.

Hi!

I gave it a quick try a week ago, too.
Only included the initrd into the kernel, but unfortunately this
wasn't enough...
I hope I' done soon with my freevo-live, which maybe isn't setup
as professional as geexbox, but at least has tv-out and works
(exclusively) on peg

cheers

It uses yaboot to boot, which I never could get to work on a Pegasos (it works fine on a Mac). I'll try to change the ISO file to include an OF bootable kernel. Now it is the same, as on openSUSE (vmlinux + initrd) so I will try to use their script to combine these two files into one bootable kernel image.

cool, please post your attempts and results here, i'm very interested.

cheers

Hi!
@czp

That's almost the same I tried without success.
I guess a complete kernel recompile could do better...
