The flip side of the issue is that grub2 resets the computer
trying to launch kernels that loadlin launches with no problem.

I have a new dual-boot Win98SE and an up-to-date slink system with
2.0.36, running on an Abit LX6. Win98 and Linux share a single disk.
If I use LOADLIN, invoked from Win98, to boot the system, then Linux
usually (always?) hangs while booting after starting syslogd but
before klogd

When using loadlin to boot from dos into Linux, it requires the command line
loadlin linux /hda2
whereas linux is the kernel I keep in a local directory. If I compile a new
kernel, is there anyway to get that new kernel on disk to copy over to the
dos local directory to use loadlin? Any help
I used to boot the kernel directly off a floppy (created via "dd if=vmlinuz
of=/dev/fd0 bs=512").
After increasing memory to 96mb, I now boot a dos diskette containing
LOADLIN.EXE and the kernel.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT contains 1 line:
loadlin vmlinuz mem=96m hda=4088,64,63 root

AFAIK, loadlin is used to boot to linux from Dos/Windows.
I use LILO myself. Kinda gives me flexibility of being exposed to windows

Root device "08:02" means major 8 (SCSI hd), minor 2, which is equivalent to
/dev/sda2. This is the root filesystem the kernel tries to mount.
Start loadlin like this:
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6

Hi, Nathan!
Am I right that you would like to install Debian on your harddrive using
loadlin? Details of that are in chapter "installing from hard disk" "Debian
Installation manual". Worked for me all the time. I even prefer it to
diskette installation.

Greets,
I have given up installing Debian with the installation program
because for some reason it doesn't think I have a hard drive. Anyway,
I've gotten it to run the Linux kernal with the program loadlin but I
don't have a root file system binary to use with it... except th

I used init s. I thought that was the same. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.
