Sorry, I'd missed that. The low-memory > explanation doesn't really hold then. Can you boot from a floppy and load > the kernel from the flash card? 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 ? > > In the Linux 2.4 kernel: linux/drivers/mtd/doc1000.c. Or from my CVS tree > if you want to patch it into 2.2. > 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 ? -Andrey To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
