I still have boot problems with this latest image. See [1] for my old
email about that.

Not with this new (2025-12-06) version, but already since some versions
before, it became worse. In that I don't see any kernel messages after
the boot loader jumped to it, neither on VGA nor on serial console.

I haven't come around to build installation media myself as mentioned in
the thread [1].

But now I want to tackle that problem again (no kernel messages) in
order to finally have Linux running on my C3750 art some point in time.
I want to boot my test kernels over the network.

My questions are:

- which kernel version and config to use? I've tried latest Linus 
version and 'generic-64bit_defconfig', but this gives compilation errors.
- how would I build a bootable LIF file after I'm able to compile a 
kernel? In the first step without userland, just to see the kernel messages.


regards,
chris
