I run Woody (3.0 r1), and always boot from a floppy and normally clear out /usr/src after compiling kernels and producing a boot floppy.
Have just compiled 2.4.21 so that I can compile an nvidia module. I've probably compiled my own kernel over 20 times (using make-kpkg) and never had any difficulty booting. This time, however, I can't boot and get the error:- --------------- Loading .............. Uncompressing Linux (some activity), then invalid compressed format (err=1) ---- System halted --------------- I recompiled using a fresh .tar.bz2 and new freshly formatted floppy. The result is the same. Is there a change between 2.4.21 and 2.4.20 that causes the progam to prepare the floppy differently? Can anyone help please.
