I can't reproduce this myself due to lack of machines with windows, so I didn't want to file a bugreport. I've been told that starting the potato install using loadlin as documented in the installation manual doesn't work. The procedure they used is: 1. copy linux, loadlin.exe and root.bin (from the images-1.22 directory since it's impossible to copy an 1.44Mb image to a disk) to a DOS partition 2. Boot the machine in DOS 3. Run loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin filesize=1.22 This gives you: Can't find a valid ramdisk Writing root.bin to a floppy directly doesn't work since loadlin doesn't support initrd=/dev/fd0 . Booting the machine from floppy doesn't work for some reason, so we're somewhat stuck now :( Wichert. -- _________________________________________________________________ / Generally uninteresting signature - ignore at your convenience \ | wichert@liacs.nl http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |
