trouble booting kernels 2.1.100, 2.1.101: fixed file name length
The problem I was having in booting the new kernel was the length of
the file name. If the file name to boot is
sdc4:vmlinux.gz.2033
it boots fine. If the file name is
sdc4:vmlinux.gz.21101
it does not boot, but gives the error message
attempt to access beyond end of device
If I do 'cp vmlinux.gz.21101 test.gz'
and boot as
sdc4:test.gz
it unzips and starts the boot process. However, there is still
something else wrong since the nothing appears the screen once the new
kernel takes over, but I can hear the disk drive working as if if were
booting. Perhaps I am required to set the VGA / console option at the
end of the config?
