I got a home network running at home, I have Mandrake set up as a masquerading as firewall host! I have recently downloaded and installed Phat Linux on one of my client machines. Phat Linux works and operates off of a FAT16 or 32 file system, I downloaded this distro cause I already have Mandrake set up as a server and I did not want to re-partition my client machines file system. Anyway, Phat Linux boots by using LINLOAD, the MS-DOS based Linux loader. The developers of this distro have made a simple MS-DOS batch file which looks like this: LINLOAD vmlinuz initrd=ramdisk.gz mem=32M I have tried this batch file with no success, I keep receiveing the following boot-time error: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=07:07_iso_blknum16, block32 attemp to acces beyond end of device 07:07: rw=o, want=1, limit=0 FAT bread failed kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 07:07 I attempted to enter my own boot time parameters as well, this too led to the same result: LINLOAD vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=ramdisk.gz mem=32M I though that maybe, if I pointed LINLOAD in the direction of the image file it should be able to boot up!! Now, I'm really confused, I though that LINLOAD uses a image file of the kernel to boot, then it locates the real kernel image and continues as usuall using the original. Whats is going on here and how can I fix it?? Stef www.speedcorp.net
