Posting a question, then having to supply the answer :-) Ii seems to be that mkboot does not deal with the initrd component of the kernel, and so when you boot a floppy that has been made from mkboot pointed at a 2.4 kennel that uses an initrd image, the floppy is incomplete and so a kernel panic ensues. I did an mkboot aimed at a 2.2 kernel and mkboot worked fine. I tried to edit the lilo.conf on fd0 to look for the initrd on the hard disk, but that didn't work. I tried to copy initrd.img to the floppy, but there was way too little space. I suppose what I should be asking is how to make a boot floppy for a 2.4 kernel, as mine seem to be too big for a floppy disk? ___________________________________ _ Keith O'Connell. -o) Maidstone, Kent.
