We're still trying to resolve the kernel decompression failure problem, and we need some help:
* from anyone who has experienced this problem on their system * from someone who can do a small amount of assembler coding The problem: On some systems, when attempting to boot from the installation boot disk (boot1440.bin, etc), the kernel fails to decompress following the 'boot: ' prompt. This is usually solved by turning off the internal cache via the bios.
