"it works now" should say "now I got it to boot"

Thats exactly the point where I am now. With no ideas left...
I also get that with the debian image.

btw I never made it to up/downgrade to v1.7 (its important to have no
newer/older firmware)
with the 336kb images you find everywhere. now I found a 1100kb and at
least the update worked.

I read on 
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/redhat/redhat-6.2/alpha/doc/install-guide/s1-alpha-supportedhardware.htm

that axp150 is "currently incompatible".

Can anybody comment this? Did anybody make it to install 6.2 (or 6.1?)
on a jensen?
