I got a floppy built with a 2.4 kernel built. I struggled with
2.4.20 for a while and just couldn't get it small enough, so
I switched to 2.4.9 and managed to get 850k or so kernel. I
also replaced busybox with a version that has pivot_root
compiled in. buildit.s and install.s worked fine, boots up ok
for a while, but then I get the same kernel panic. The last
few things I see are...
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 946
cramfs: wrong magic
FAT: bogus logical sector size 287
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
Any ideas? Could the ramdisk somehow not be getting created
correctly? That would seem to be what the errors are implying,
but I'm not sure what I might have done wrong. Kernel has minix
and ramdisk support compiled in.
Thanks,
