MILO is model specific, so unles= s you know what machine type you have, I might be sending you the wrong f= ile. If you can't power it on, can you snap a picture of it? That will li= kely help identify it. Cheers, Jeff D p.s. sorry for the delayed response too. Holidays and all....... ----- Original Message ---- From: Amos H.

Sorry that it took so long to get back to you. All I know about the mach= ine without digging up some RAM and turning it on is that it is one of the fe= w systems that cannot use the SRM firmware, thus I must use MILO to load a kernel. If you have a floppy boot image that will work with a 2.6 kernel= , please post send it to my E-Mail Address or post a link and I'll download it.

If you want to ditch 2.4 kernal support someone will need to modify MILO = to work with 2.6 series kernals.

Hi all. 2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for the 2007.0 release and forward. Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can try to work out any problems in time for next release. Regards, Bryan =D8stergaard PS.
