Re: g
This may be way off, but some of us have trouble loading Linux from
floppy if the cache is turned on. Try turning off cache and see if the
problem goes away.
Typically, the cache issue shows up while the kernel is being
decompressed, not during the initial boot. The solution given below by
Heiko is more likely the correct one.
