Loadlin Problems with 1.2.13

Loadlin Problems with 1.2.13

Post by Cassandra M. Perki » Wed, 07 Feb 1996 04:00:00



I recently tried to upgrade my system from the Slackware version of Linux
1.1.59 to 1.2.13.  The upgrade was successful except when I tried to use
loadlin 1.5 to boot directly to Linux from DOS, using the command:

        loadlin zimage root=/dev/sdb1 ro vga=normal

I get the error message that the zimage is not a kernal image.  
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Thank you.

remember that when you compile the kernel (make zImage) it creates
vmlinux and zImage.  vmlinux is in /usr/src/linux and zImage is in
/usr/src/linux/??/i386/? something..  make sure you are using the
later zImage, which is compressed and not the former one.

1. strange problems 1.2.13 --> 2.0.0 --> 1.2.13

Hi,

I have some strange problems with the new kernel source tree...

after the installation of the new sysvinit-2.62 the linux-2.0.0 kernel
complains sh:/bin/bash cannot execute...
with 1.99.7 this works fine
and at least I'm totally unable to recompile the 1.2.13 source tree due
some strange asm errors in main occurring in asm/io.h referenced by
bugs.h  (also within the asm tree). Of course I checked the appropriate
links to for the linux source tree /usr/include/linux
                                                asm

Please help....
