Well, something IS bizarrely wrong. I get the same error. Is there
something wrong with the disk I have allocated for root? It is a
minidisk of 1000 cylinders on a real 3390 Mod 3. I CMS formatted it,
and did a "RESERVE LNX200 MDISK B" on it. Something else I need to
put into parmfile?
Even booting the CentOS, I get the "checking if image is
initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers)" message, but it doesn't
seem to mind and marches forward and boots all the way in.
