Are you such a moron that you do not understand what we've been trying to
tell you?  This is not a PS2 native kernel.  It does no special bootloader
magic.  If you actually think this runs on the Emotion Engine, after
booting like a normal PSX game, after being told that runix.ru had
developed a PSX (not PS2) kernel months ago, then all hope for you is lost.

Kernel messages?  Ever heard of a framebuffer console?  It's a mystical
magical device supported in Linux that allows you to use non-VGA devices as
native Linux consoles.  Now, do you think this could be supported in the
kernel runix.ru developed for the PSX?  And that it's actually possible
that the framebuffer console is being used to output kernel boot messages?

Methinks you need to actually understand how the Linux boot process works,
and then read all those nifty messages whizzing across your screen.

Folks, this isn't a PS2 kernel.  Don't let this guy and runix.ru confuse
you.
