This works well with < 2.4.19-pre6 kernels but 2.4.19-pre6 just doesn't read the 2nd floppy disk (the ramdisk). I noticed that 2.4.19-pre6 try to read from floppy before prompting for the ramdisk and <2.4.19-pre6 never did that. Once i press enter with the 2.4.19-pre6, the kernel seems to do nothing. No kernel panic, no oops. It just does nothing. The floppy leds is switched on 3s or 5s and then is switched off. Alt+SysRq+T gives me 5 usual tasks in Sleeping mode : [ksoftirqd_CPU0] [kswapd] [kupdated] [keventd] [bdflush] and one active task called swapper (never heard about that one). This last task is still in R state. This bug is still present in 2.4.19-pre8 (tested, same behaviour). Regards PS : Can you cc me the answers as i not a lkml subscriber. Thx -- Edouard Gomez
