Re: [Fwd: install error on Netra 20 with LOM card]

["Martin P Habets [mhabets]" <mhabets@lucent.com>]

Does anybody have an .iso or full tftpboot.img with this patch in it?

I've tried building it myself against the 2.4.19 kernel, but that
did not work. I must be missing a number of other patches, and it'll
probably be a hassle for me to figure all of them out.

Thanks,
	Martin
