Re: System Halded

 The problem I have is that booting with loadlin from a small  Dos partition
 the system hangs

 message:   Uncompressing Linux
 Invalid compressed format  ERR=1
 -- SYSTEM HALTED

 Also with a initrd.img without any results

 message:Uncompressing Linux
   Ran out of input data
  --SYSTEM HALTED

 Use Loadlin for many years with small and big kernels without any problem.

 Maybe it's a problem with the new EXT3 file system ???

* You have copied the initrd.img to the DOS partition, haven't you?
* Make sure you don't load any DOS drivers before invoking loadlin.
  Using a menu and a shell= line in config.sys is a good way to achieve that.
* Try installing and using kernel-image-2.4.18-yourcpu, not the one used by the
  boot floppies.

 Start installation at the boot prompt via F1 choose 2.4 kernel and ext3 file
 system everything looks nice.
 Of course making a boot floppy, boots fine.

Loadlin is an old piece of shit, RTFM and choose another way to boot.

No, some bug in loadline appearing on large 2.4.x kernels.
