Hi: I made a boot floppy by #cp /vmlinuz /dev/fd0 My current vmlinuz is a 2.4.18 kernel that boots fine from the HD. While the floppy is being read I begin seeing this error messages .... 0424 AX:0212 BX:7400 CX:5001 DX:0000 these repeat until I <ctrl> <alt> <del> I have used several different floppies thinking it was the floppy itself?? Thanks for the help Brian
