I guess my next step is to try to get a minimal image put together using a woody kernel with the woody aboot, to confirm whether this can still be built successfully on a current system; and then to see what happens building the same image with the current aboot. That'll take me a bit to set up, I'm afraid. The flashing keyboard lights are curious. I don't suppose you have any way to hook a serial console up to that system, after all, to see if there's any output of interest? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
