I can build floppies with the 2.6.25 images, but in qemu I see this: Booting from floppy... Boot error I've backtracked this to a specific change in a recent version of dosfstools, and filed an RC bug. However, immediatly upon loading linux, a fixed image crashes qemu spectacularly: qemu: fatal: triple fault EAX=00000018 EBX=00000000 ECX=00000000 EDX=003a2700 ESI=000333a1 EDI=00000000 EBP=ffffffb0 ESP=0003c3a4 EIP=00101015 EFL=00000002 [-------] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0000 00000000 00000000 00000000 CS =0010 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9b00 SS =0018 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9300 DS =0018 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9300 FS =0018 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9300 GS =0018 00000000 ffffffff 00cf9300 LDT=0000 00000000 00000000 00008000 TR =0020 00001000 00000067 00008900 GDT= c0127a82 00000000 IDT= 00000000 00000000 CR0=60000011 CR2=00000000 CR3=00000000 CR4=00000000 CCS=00000000 CCD=00000000 CCO=LOGICB FCW=037f FSW=0000 [ST=0] FTW=00 MXCSR=00001f80 FPR0=0000000000000000 0000 FPR1=0000000000000000 0000 FPR2=0000000000000000 0000 FPR3=0000000000000000 0000 FPR4=0000000000000000 0000 FPR5=0000000000000000 0000 FPR6=0000000000000000 0000 FPR7=0000000000000000 0000 XMM00=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM01=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM02=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM03=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM04=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM05=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM06=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM07=00000000000000000000000000000000 zsh: abort qemu -fda boot.img -boot a I don't know whether to file a qemu or a kernel bug here.
