When i try to boot it this is what i get, any ideas? I don't see an error, very weird. I've installed the new modutils rpm and the procpsutils as well. Thanks. Dave. Press any key to continue.

I booted fine the 2.5 kernel by tagging it for netboot and then placing it on my tftp directory. I never use harddisk bootloaders, so if you can not make it work with grub, I would get ahead and make it boot from floppy. Yes, it takes a minute to load a kernel, but it works and is simple. I use syslinux for that, it's fairly simple and you can enter kernel options directly at the boot prompt. Also, since it's a dos 8.3-formatted floppy, you can upgrade your kernel by simply replacing the kernel file. If you need a dos-formatted empty disk, I can post one to my homepage for you to download. Greets, Antonio. ps. I'm having problems with running "make menuconfig" on rh9 under vanilla 2.5.66, the gnome-terminal hangs easily... any ideas? (Yes, I'll try xterm or rxvt just in case). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You need syslinux 2.02 or later (and, of course, write permission to the floppy drive) if you want to do this as non-root. -hpa -- <hpa@transmeta.com> at work, <hpa@zytor.com> in private!
