Kernel: Versions since 2.0
It is possible to choose a kernel and this kernel will be loaded then
(some dots appear). However starting this kernel doesn't work.
This means : The system crashes with a couple of different reactions
before the message uncompresing Linux
appears on the screen.
Possible error messages and phenomena :
We suspect that a faulty BIOS has problems with fast memory access.
The problem does not appear, if
dd if=/vmlinuz
of=/dev/fd0
to a floppy and is directly loaded from there,
make zImage
(e.g. an older 1.2.13 kernel) is booted with LILO.
DRAM Precharge Wait State
set to 1 andDRAM Wait Burst Timing
to 0x3333
After a successful installation the question arises, how one can boot the system. First one boots with the same medium as for the installation. There is no problems with using loadlin from a DOS partition. If you use a bootdisk then use the following parameters :
load_ramdisk=0 root=/dev/???where ??? is your root partition.
Afterwards you should immediately generate a new kernel since this can then be booted with LILO.
If you have further questions about this, please send us the complete specification of your mainboard and your BIOS enclosed with your mail.
