The DOC has the "default" formatting using TrueFFS and a single DOS partition. On a hard drive I've got Red Hat Linux 7.3. When I try to load Linux, grub reports: root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=3D/dev/hda1 [Linux-bzimage, setup=3D0x1400, size=3D0xfcdc3] Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory If I remove the DOC, Linux boots correctly. If I erase the binary (BDK) partition on the DOC (and thus removing TrueFFS), Linux also boots correctly. Can someone tell me why this is happening and if there is a remedy to load the Linux kernel while keeping the DOC with it's default TrueFFS configuration? Thanks-- Joseph M.
