OK, I almost suspected that. Thanks for the information and the images, however it still does not work. Booting your disk with the command above nicely boots the kernel, but then I get a message like request_module[block-major-15]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 0f:d0 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 0f:d0 Rebooting in 180 seconds... This still leaves me somehow clueless :-(. Maybe it is a problem of the floppy controller? This claims to be a SWIM3. Christian
