[debian-installer] Could not boot on disk, kernel loader issue

[Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>]

Hi,

i'm experiencing a rather strange problem. I built a boot floppy with
debian-installer (with some udeb of mine) but I just can't get
that floppy to boot.

I get the SYSLINUX prompt. I push enter. I see :
Loading initrd.gz ..............
Loading Linux .............. ready.
No setup signature found ...

And here it stops. I tried with 2 flavor of kernel 2.4.7 and with 2.4.6
and each time I got the very same error. I looked on the net about this
error and found nothing useful apart from the explanation of where the
error is thrown. But nowhere was it indicated what I should do to correct
that error or what is wrong on my setup.

Does anyone know what is happening here ? What should I try ?

Syslinux is 1.62-5. 

Cheers,
