1999-08-02 Thread Tor Slettnes
Perhaps the "form factory" kernel-image-2.2.10 does not contain 'msdos' support? If so, you can probably use the 'vfat' filesystem (which is backwards compatible) instead. Or, yes, build your own image (the best way to do that would be via 'make-kpkg'). As for going back to an older kernel-imag
