well ... it seems i suddenly find horrible bug in thats system (mainboard
BIOS as i think) - it _can_not_ boot kernel from IDE HDD, non-standart
floppy (1680kb) and my ISA flash card too :| just hangs at 'Loading
kernel..' ...
well ... i just solve that problem with booting LRP from 1.44 'standart'
floppy and small HDD for modules...
i try to boot from my flash card at another PII motherboard - it loads
kernel ok ! but really can not load any modules after it :| (not hangs ...
just wrote errors loading modules and wait for run-level input)
so i need to patch kernel is not it ?

is it mtd-20000704.diff files from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org the
only patch i need or some else ? does it adds support for my old enough ISA
flash card to 2.2.16 kernel or i have no chances to load modules from it
after succesful loading kernel ?
