Hi, I've searched the list archives, Google, and the Wiki site, but I can't find the answer to my particular problem... (that doesn't mean it's not out there, just that I haven't hit on the right search terms yet...).
I downloaded tomsrtbt-2.0.103 and added my own 2.4.20 static kernel, but when I boot it I get: RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 889. VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER My static kernel is stripped of everything except what's needed to support the chip set on this particular machine (an IBM x225), and contains the requirements listed in the FAQ and a few more (ramdisk, minix, loop, floppy support). It is 656003 Kb in size, and contains no module support whatsoever. After my new floppy gave me the above error the first time, I went back into the kernel config and changed the ramdisk default size to 40Mb instead of 4Mb, then I built the floppy again but still no dice. I built the floppy with the following commands (using the instructions in the FAQ as a guide): # ./unpack.s tomsrtbt.raw # cd tomsrtbt-2.0.103.unpacked # cd 1/ # rm bz2bzImage # cp ../../mykernelimage bz2bzImage # chmod 755 bz2bzImage (don't know if this is necessary) # cd ../ # ./buildit.s It builds without errors. Then I cd into the new directory it created and type ./install.s. It formats my blank floppy and installs without errors. Any ideas? Many Thanks, - Todd
