Hi,
O.K. Copied everything to harddisc. What happened then is that after I started bootstra.prg from partition c:\ (GEMDOS) with MiNT the computer just freezed. When I started from partition c:\ with TOS the computer reboots (coldboot).
NVDI included, or not?I just remembered something else that may be important - after the first unsuccesful boot attempt from HD, I renamed bootstrap.prg to bootstrap.tos. This appears to have some effect on how TOS handles the bootstrap, because reading the kernel image from disk and decompressing it happens a lot less fast than it does when using bootstrap.prg as name for the binary.
bootargs: ========= -s -d -k o:\install\kernels\vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-atari -r o:\install\cdrom\initrd.gz root=/dev/ram video=atafb:vga16 console=tty load_ramdisk=1 fb=falseThat's the one from the CD, except for fixed paths?Right. This time modified as follows (had to shorten kernel's name due to gemdos restrictions (maxpath 8+3):
:-) Understood (that's why I left the kernel image on CD). Could you please try that as well?

And a while after this, it reboots? I'll check your data against my boot results. I hope we'll get there yet ...Do you have a nullmodem serial cable to attach the Falcon to another computer, and capture kernel debug output there?
