Boot disks -- don't

[John Carline <jtc@stic.net>]

Hi All,

Would anyone by any chance know what would make boot disks
stop working?

I've got several small hard drives that I plug into my
computer as /dev/hdd1 and have been playing with different
configurations and kernels. After testing some modems for a
friend, none of the boot disks that were created with either
"make zdisk" or "make bzdisk" work. Instead of the normal
"Loading"  and a bunch of dots. I get what looks like a cpu
dump and then after all the dots, the computer reboots.

Looks like this;

loading. 8000
AX 0204
BX 0000
CX 0006
DX 0000 ..........................   (then reboots)


Luckily all the disks that were created during the initial
installation work - those that have syslink on them. All disks
created during the compiling of a kernel fail. I even tried
recompiling my slink/2.2.9 kernel and creating a new bzdisk,
but it failed also.

Evidently I changed something when I was testing the modems,
but I sure don't see what.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John Carline
