There's a patch that allows booting bzImage kernels on laptops (the kernel we used for 1.3 tecra disks is a bzImage one). It doesn't work on some desktops, so we can't use that on our "official" kernel. I thought that I had used the same patch on boot-floppies_2.1.5 but obviously I didn't, as the teca disk doesn't work. I will double check that for 2.1.6. -- Enrique Zanardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
