I try to create floppy boot disk, but something is wrong.
I study method in how-to-bootdisk, and I`d like create single bootdisk
with lilo.
But when start my system it only write:
Uncompresing linux...ok, booting the kernel.
and it`s all. Where is the problem ?

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

Hi All,
I've kinda buggered up my install of Linux, anyhow, I booted my ram disk
from my floppy disks. However, when I mount a Linux partition of my HD
install I cannot read the contents of any of the directories what gives?
Is there no way to read and manipulate the contents on the hard dri

Hi,
I am now trying to recompile kernel for the first time
in Debian. I do not have a floppy to boot the system
in case the kernel panics. How can I do that in
Debian?
Looking at /etc/lilo.conf, it seems that I have to do,
"dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192". But it asks for
root disk, please ad

Hi,
I am now trying to recompile kernel for the first time in Debian. I do

Looking at /etc/lilo.conf, it seems that I have to do, "dd if=/vmlinuz

Don't use 'cp' but 'cat' or 'dd'. The kernel must be writed at the
begining of the disk.
#cat /vmlinuz /dev/fd0
