I made some test kernels of older releases available at http://people.debian.org/~tbm/tmp/raq1/ Can someone please try whether they work. You can use a default.colo file like this: #:CoLo:# # # load kernel via NFS # -serial on nfs {dhcp-next-server} {dhcp-root-path} linux-2.6.13 execute console=ttyS0,{console-speed} -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
