Hi. Yes, I know this has been asked before, I've googled and also read the posts from lfs-support. But since there is no known solution, I ask if anyone has new info.
I sent a bug report to kernel mailing list 5 days ago, but got no responses. The post to kernel devs is here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/7/245 I have a two-floppy linux system. It boots fine on newer comps, but not on my i586 laptop. There it hangs right after "freeing unused kernel memory:" and init never gets started. I know the hang is in execve() call for init, told this to kernel developers too, but I'm no programmer and don't know how to fix it. My kernel is 2.6.21.1-ck2 with minimum config just for this laptop (configured for pentium-classic, no pci, no usb, no sound, no pcmcia, no power management etc...). I also tried 2.6.16.52 and 2.6.21.1 with many configs. I think the problem is some 686-needing code sneaks into the kernel. But how to fix it? As I said in that kernel post, I tried every bootcode listed as busg=x86-32 in kernel-parameters.txt..
