- I'm having trouble with Linux freezing after the 'sock_init:...' message.
-
- I installed from SLS without problems (disks 1-10), and rebooted from the
- boot disk that the install process created, and everything was working
- just fine. Then I realized that I had made filesystems that were too
- big for the partitions that they were in (oops!!!) and decided to just
- reboot with disk #1 of the SLS, remake the filesystems with the correct
- sizes, and reinstall.
-
- That's when things started freezing, and I've tried booting from disk #1
- of the SLS and a 0.97 boot disk (both freshly created), and both hang at
- the same point. I can't imagine what could have changed, but I'd sure
- like to correct it and get Linux (re)installed.
-
- Can anyone help?
-
- The system is a 20MHz 386 with 9M, and a 330M Maxtor drive on an UltraStor
- (Ultra 12F24) controller. (There's an Ethernet card in there too, but
- Linux should ignore that (SHOULDN'T IT?).) I've partitioned the drive
- into 220M for DOS, and two ~55M partitions for Linux.
