It was a VFAT floppy. I tried to check if the size was really 4k that it failed for, and noticed that it now works. My kernel size has changed since then though, so it might be that it only happens if kernel is very small also ? I have my kernel in RCS so I tried building the same kernel. No success. What I can still say, is that the actual filesize never was of importance. I tried compressing a module slightly less than 4k, and didn't work, tried compressing a module slightly more than 4k, which after compression was just few hundred bytes, and it did work. What do we do with this one ? One possibility is to close the bug, and I'll notify if I ever get this again (and save the floppy image this time). It happened with both real floppy and image, with real hardware and in Bochs. -- - Teemu Voipio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
