I was able to install Rock 2.0.1 on a G4 Xserve....Its not working 100% as of yet, but is farther along than I could get other distributions. Farther along, at this time, means it at least runs at Run Level 3, networking and a generally functional system. Next up is the G5 Xserve. Initial indications are that Rock will not load on this hardware. I tried to boot from the CD, but that didn't work. Then I tried to copy the vmlinux files onto the existing system (its Yellow Dog based), update yaboot and restart. Upon reboot, and selection of the Rock kernel, it basically goes into Open Firmware and locks up the machine. So, to make a short story long, can anyone comment on getting Rock Linux to install / work on the G5 Xserve hardware? TIA for any assistance.... Kevin Brown
