* You have copied the initrd.img to the DOS partition, haven't you? * Make sure you don't load any DOS drivers before invoking loadlin. Using a menu and a shell= line in config.sys is a good way to achieve that. * Try installing and using kernel-image-2.4.18-yourcpu, not the one used by the boot floppies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
