Jens pointed it out to me first: I had the wrong processor type selected. I went into the kernel config, changed the processor type to 386, and recompiled. Rebooting with a newly minted kernel floppy set to mount my primary partition as its root device, I found that it loaded the kernel and gave me little trouble that couldn't be fixed with symlinks. Yes, I know that odd numbered kernels are bleeding edge releases and as such should not be used as your primary boot method; this was more for a learning experience than to get the latest kernel. I think that I might possibly patch my new kernel to the very latest bleeding edge, recompile and try to do it again. This has been fun! I'd like to try to help you guys out if I can, so I will submit a bug report to you now, if this is such: upon shutdown after booting with 2.5.1, the system fails to unmount all filesystems, forcing me to shut off the power manually. Upon reboot, fsck finds 4 or 5 errors with my root partition, but thats to be expecte when you shut down that way anyhow. If there is any further info I can give you to help you guys out, please email me. Michael Mohr
