Help: problem building/running 2.2.0pre5 on LX164/SRM

[abel bfr co il (Alexander L. Belikoff)]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying a 2.2.0pre5 kernel on an LX164 with SRM boot loader and
stock RedHat 5.2 (upgraded from RH 5.1). The build process went
seamlessly (via menuconfig, since xconfig failed). However, on boot I
get:

>>>boot -file 2/vmlinux-22p5.gz
(boot dka0.0.0.6.0 -file 2/vmlinux-22p5.gz)
block 0 of dka0.0.0.6.0 is a valid boot block
reading 171 blocks from dka0.0.0.6.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 1da000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 15600
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 1cc000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code
aboot: Linux/Alpha SRM bootloader version 0.5
aboot: switching to OSF/1 PALcode version 1.22
aboot: valid disklabel found: 3 partitions.
aboot: booted_dev=`scsi 0 6 0 0 0 0 0', guessing boot_device=`sda2'
aboot: loading compressed vmlinux-22p5.gz...
aboot: block-size smaller than anticipated!

unzip: failure
aboot: loading plain vmlinux-22p5.gz...
aboot: unexpected object file format 143631
Enter kernel name and arguments:
aboot> 


What am I missing?


PS. Aboot is aboot-0.5-7

Thanks in advance,
