Could you be more specific about elf. I was using option BOOT_IDE which uses ide_fill_inbuf.c etc. Seems to work for a raw partition, but I have not tried the combination with the Linux ext2fs in the other partition (right now using a ramdisk loaded from a floppy as the rootfs). Are you talking about ELF_BOOT? /sg _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
