It appears that the OP's links are dead,
look here instead. I've been trying to boot Linux for a couple of days now with no success. I have an A3000D with Cyberstorm MkII 68060-50, 128MB RAM on the Cyberstorm board, 16MB fast RAM, and 2MB chip RAM. I also have a 256MB ZorRAM board. I boot from a compact flash card in a SCSI card reader. Every time I boot Linux, I get a black screen and the serial port spits out ABCDGHIJK. I've tried amiboot 5.6 and 6.0, and kernel 2.4 and 3.2. I was able to boot Linux before I installed the Cyberstorm, on the A3000's 68030-25. It was hit or miss then too.
I see that the ABCDGHIJK output is generated in the
kernel's head.S file. It appears to be getting as far as the call to start_kernel, then it freezes. Does anyone know what might cause this?
