Hi,

my first problem was, that I didn't use the correct switches on
SRM console. I _must_ use

boot dva0 -file vmlinux.gz -flags "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1"

Without the switches vmlinux.gz is load raw.
But with the XL kernel from the RedHat distribution it seems like it
doesn't recognize any interrupt (no reaction on key press, SCSI not
found, lost interrupt).
With Michaels kernel (Special Thanks !!!) I managed the intallation.
Thank You all.
