The ramdisk location is too high, which means the memory sizing got it wrong. You should retag the kernel with mknbi 1.2-8 or later (latest is 1.2-11) because this is in the notes for 1.2-8: + Modified call to int15h/e801 in start32.S to check for return values in CX, DX in case BIOS doesn't return them in AX, BX. Trust Dell to do things differently. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
