Now booting the kernel ^^^ ____and it stalls here____ I can boot this host from a customized 2.4.27 kernel provided by a third person. I mounted a root from an old potato base2_2.tar potato and upgraded to woody. But this is in a different NFS root. I just wanted to see if I could install from scratch Sarge in this host. thanks, Pablo de Vicente - -- ____________________________________________________________ Pablo de Vicente, http://www.oan.es, OAN Spain -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBdksMSItUpHl6kJERAkmzAKD1X0xUIrNBq3GC1dOjsU9j0wKH/gCdGyCv uLutJPbm+LQ+C9O7b//ys34= =jlyq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
