Example files for testing Linux 2.6 on PS2
##########################################

initrd2.6_v1.gz is a limited kernel.
initrd2.6_v1.gz is a simple initrd.

This is just a proove of concept.

Kernelloader 2.4 is required. I have tested this
with my fat PS2 SCPH-50004 and VGA.
This is working with the default configuration
of kernelloader.
You will see the startup messages of
Linux 2.6 and some test output on the screen.
This is not usable because there is no
hardware support (except graphic).

Advanced Linux developers should be able
to execute everything which fits into
the initrd. You need files from a Linux
distribution for mipsel. Only ABI 32 will work.
ABI n32 or 64 can fail because of unsupported
64 bit multiplication instructions and there
is no support in the 32 bit kernel.

The files are build on a Debian 5.0 from CVS
with tag LINUX_2_6_V1.
