2.4.2 worked OK, but I needed loopback also, so I tried 2.4.2-ac7. I get the "uncompressing... Booting" line, and it hangs there (I let it sit for 30s to be sure). System: AMD K6-2/266, ATI Mach64, oldBusLogic SCSI card, almost evreything compiled as modules. I will try ac-8 once it shows up on the mirrors. -Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
