I've managed to get a decent number of machines booting via > DOS and loadlin with 2.4 kernels. I happen to be using kernels in the 2.4.7-ac > range. I was able to boot a recent 2.4.x kernel that was less than the floppy size requirement. Kernels greater than that size will automatically reboot my machine (using the Win95 Command Prompt Only option + LOADLIN 1.6a). My last recorded 2.4.x kernel to boot with a size greater than a floppy is 2.4.5-ac17, which is very close the size of the recent kernels ). The same .config has been used with the recent 2.4.x kernels as 2.4.5-ac17 (minor additions for new fs supports). The power management option is not enabled.
