Hmm, I've looked around and can't find floppy SRM images. Can someone point me to them? On ftp.digital.com they only have CD .isos. > > Haven't found a way to load an initrd on either of these subarches, that > > is, using MILO or APB... > > Er, both kernel flavors are still initrd-based.

When I built 2.6.8 from sarge without an initrd it booted okay (though network performance degraded over time until after a few hours it was unusable). Trying the same with 2.6.15 or 2.6.16 does not work at all. Couldn't get 2.4 working either. So I'm still running on 2.2.25. :-( Thanks, -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Welcome to the best software in the world today cafe! http://www.take6.com/albums/greatesthits.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
