[urgent] testing for 2.2.18 boot-floppies i386 needed



I need testers for the upcoming 2.2.18 boot-floppies, which is what
will go into 2.2r1 Potato hopefully to be released within the next
week.  The changelog is included below.

http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/current/

Specifically, I *must* have someone test every one of the
kernel/rootdisk combinations (vanilla, udma66, idepci, compact), since
we've moved from 2.2.17pre-patch kernels to straight 2.2.17.  I cannot
release this until I receive confirmation that the new kernel images
and pcmcia modules work.

Please make sure the modules load, and make sure PCMCIA works in
particular.

Please reply results to debian-boot.
