Hi
Just wanted to give an update. I'm still baffled.
I did a clean install of 7.1 beta on the disk in a AMD K5 166, and made
sure it booted fine. I tried booting it in the i-opener and it failed
(iether at the "checking if this processor honors the WP bit.." message,
or at the "freeing unused memory" step (don't recall).
So, I then rebuilt the kernel, choosing x586, and slimming it down a
bit. It too failed to boot.
So, I gave in, and copied the 2.4test1 kernel from
jailbait.sourceforge.net to the disk and configured lilo to use it. It
boots! At this point I thought I was on easy street. I'd just compile
the kernel on the i-opener and I'd be home free.
Well, it failed to boot too (stopping at the "checking if this processor
honors the WP bit.." message).
So I *must* be doing something wrogn when compiling these kernels. So I'm
trying various permutations (slowly). At least I can close her up now and
stop swapping hard drives.

P.S. Don't make the mistake of going to jailbait.org as I did, because
it'll take you to a pre-teen porn site. yuk. :)
