I tried installing this, along with the root.bin from: http://web.espy.org/ftp/debian/ramdisk.image.gz, which was mentioned in some other message I now can't find. Well ... I got what you'd call a -partial- success. By skipping 'install kernel and modules', which hung the installer if i used any means but floppy (ugh...and I have random system hangs when using floppies for anything ...) I pretty much got everything else installed fine. However, when I went to try the first boot, at some time very early in the boot process (it even happened with 'single') the machine would loop endlessly printing what looked like 2 or 3 lines of errors from kmod... one might have been the 'waitpid' thing in the source, it had some parentheses and numbers and commas... unfortunately it was scrolling too fast to read. I thought this was odd given that the rootdisk booted nicely. Also: the modules in your directory were 2.2.14, while the kernel is 2.2.15pre3? So installing modules to see if that would help ... wouldn't. Or so I assume? But, it's a lot closer ... -- James Deikun, Techie(tm), CSI Multimedia The opinions expressed &c.
