Hello.
I am using version 3.6.3 with CentOS4 on the x86 platform.
I wrote about a problem with the ramdisk of the autoinstall kernel.
Thanks for your assistance, I've gotten past the ramdisk problem.
Unfortunately, the autoinstall kernel is not seeing my floppy drive or
at least is not seeing the /local.cfg file installed there.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thank you for helping out.

Hi, again.
Thanks for your assistance. still no joy though. see below for details.
You need to modify your kernel append option with a larger
RAMDISK_SIZE (I usually use 70,000). Hopefully that should work.
That did get me booted into the syslinux image. (FYI, the exact syntax
on the boot command line is as follows:
kernel ramdisk_size=70000
character case is significant.)
I mentioned that I was using a non-bootable floppy with a msdos
filesystem and a local.cfg file in the root dir to provide the
networking and image information.
The floppy disk is not being detected by the fd driver, I guess. (There
is a disk in the drive and it has the file and it is readable.) here are
the messages:
read_kernel_append_parameters
read_local_cfg
Checking for floppy diskette.
YUO MAY SEE SOME "wrong magic" ERRORS HERE AND THAT IS NORMAL.
No floppy diskette in drive.
the rc continues till it fails to get a response out of dhcps (we don't
run one).
any idea why the diskette isn't being detected ? (the local.cfg has unix
line enders, not msdos, e.g. LF characters only. could that be a problem?)
