Re: Can't startx

[Andreas <sup...@gm...>]

Hello,
last weekend I was sitting infront of my AMIGA and gave the 2.6 kernel a 
try. It failed, because bootstrap canceled with a message, that it can not 
allocate memory. I than compressed the kernel image with gzip. With that, I 
guess bootstrap gave the same message after decompressing the kernel. Don't 
remeber exactly what was printed out.
So far I have no working kernel found. I tried several kernels in the past 
and I remeber that several different problems occured. Maybe, if one of you 
has a working APUS system, could you please tell me, what files you are 
using too boot it. What problems did you have and how did you solve them? 
Any hint is welcome at the current stage. I could then do some more advanced 
testing with this info.
I remember that certain drivers sometimes caused the boot process to halt, 
like SCSI driver. Are there options available to disable such drivers for 
testing?
I have a A4000T (Amiga Technologies), CSPPC (DCE), Cybervision64/3D, Ariadne 
2, Algor. There are 8MB of RAM on the mainboard and 64MB on the CSPPC. I 
have WarpUP installed. If you need more info, feel free to ask, but response 
time from my side will unfortunately be quite slow, since I currently see my 
AMIGA only once a month or so :-(.
Bye,
Andreas
