Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've tried on two separate machines to test out 2.4.5 through the "make bzdisk" boot floppy, and it fails on both (the compile succeeds, but boot never gets to LILO, it simply gives "400" and a repeating list of AX, BX, CX, and DX registers). Both are scsi aic7xxx, but use different controllers, and have scsi directly compiled in. One machine is based on RH 7.1 beta, the other on RH 7.1. Both are x86 SMP, with motherboard and all hardware being different. Using the same kernel through a "mkbootdisk" works, only "make bzdisk" fails. Can anyone here verify that "make bzdisk" will create a bootable floppy (I did try an entire box of different floppies) on 2.4.5+? Especially, can anyone verify this for SMP and/or purely scsi machines? If scsi, do you use aic7xxx? D. Stimits, stimits@idcomm.com
