Infomagic LDR Dec 1996

[bluesky6@ix.netcom.com (Benedict Chong)]

Does anyone know if the Debian kernel in the Infomagic Dec 1996 CDROM
distribution is broken for modules?

I have found an old 486 machine and put my Debian HD in it. After
recompiling the kernel to use modules as much as possible, the new
kernel does not boot properly and either gives a panic while trying to
mount the filesystem (when the filesystems are in modules) or hangs
after that (once I have made the filesystems part of the kernel with a
recompile).

This evening, I'll try to remove all module options and we'll see how
it works.

I also have the April issue of Infomagic's CDROM set. Is the Debian
source code in that CDROM set broken or can I use that to build a
newer kernel?
