Yes I did. But the problem with it is that only the kernel is included
but not the ram image file with the sysinst stuff.

I updated the box to 3.2 ROM and after that it booted my generated disk.
Its a rev5 Mainboard so I cannot use a more recent rom version.

The problem I have now is, that from one moment to the other I don't see
any output anymore of the kernel when it loaded and started ok.

Also the serial console output doesn't work so I can't debug anything. I
have tried almost anything I can think of, but it seems that I'm stuck
now and don't know how to continue.
