I seem to have problems when I attempt to install a new kernel.  I know that
I have to put the kernel file into the kernels folder inside the system
folder.  Also, I've been putting the vmlinux file into the /boot directory.
I can get the system to boot with the new kernel, any time I change the
kernel; however, I always get warnings about how my /boot/system.map file
does not match up with my kernel version.  The only kernel upgrade I ever
did that fixed this was when I installed an rpm with the 2.2.6-16b kernel.
But I can't find any more rpm files with newer versions of the kernel...

As a side note, I've installed the newest mol and am trying to get it to
work.  By 2.2.6 kernel isn't new enough to not require physical patching,
and when I choose a newer kernel with BootX, my system.map file doesn't
match up and mol won't run.

On an 8500 running 8.6, is it still possible to use the Bootvars and quick
programs to get LinuxPPC to boot up through OF WITHOUT BootX?  I would
personally rather be running LinuxPPC most of the time, especially once I
get mol functioning.

Here's my last problem...  I have bochs installed, but I have no idea where
I need to go, paste typing in "bochs" to get it running properly.  Do I need
a DOS boot floppy, or is FreeDOS supposed to be already installed?

Just as a note, I think this is a bug somewhere in inetd:  running on a
fresh install, telnet and ftp will not run together, from uncommenting the
lines in  /etc/inetd.conf.  When I have ftp running, telnet doesn't work.
The only way to get telnet to work is to shut off ftp.  I have proftpd
installed...  would wu-ftp fix this?

Yes, I am posting a reply to my own message...  I have a few things fixed.
I downloaded the 2.2.13 kernel source from www.ppc.kernel.org and compiled
it myself.  I discovered that this spat out a System.map file for me.  This
got rid of all those warnings I was getting during bootup.  Also, this got
mac-on-linux semi-working.  I saw the 8.6 welcome screen and then it hung.
I don't know if Macsbug locked it up or if it was having problems booting
off an HFS+ drive.  So I logged in under my WORKING telnet and told it to
reboot, as I wasn't able to effectively kill the process (this is something
I could easily learn more about).

Bochs still doesn't work, though.  I tried recompiling it and it failed, so
I just deleted the whole thing.  I didn't like Windows anyway.

I have an UMAX S900 which is mostly identical with the 8500 model and
Bootvars can be used. However for me quik (2.0) doesn't work to install
the boot blocks. The MacOS version of Quik however still does the trick.

I can't say, that this is a general feature. I guess it's something rather
specific to your setup.
