Hello again.
After successfully getting DachsteinCD running on a 486DX/16Mb, I thought
I'd try my luck on a "bigger" box, a P100/128Mb. However, I'm running into
a problem with the boot floppy.
On the 486, both the Dachstien 1.0.2 floppy distribution and the
"bootdisk.bin" on a floppy from the DachsteinCD work like a charm.
On the P100, the floppy distribution boots and goes about loading linux,
etc. However, when I try to boot from the DachsteinCD "bootdisk.bin"
floppy, syslinux reports 'boot failed' and nothing else happens.
The only obvious difference that I see is that the Dachstein floppy
distribution is 'syslinux 1.62 2001-04-24' but the CD distribution is
'syslinux 1.52 2001-02-07'
Two questions:
1) Is this version difference a likely cause for the boot failure?
2) Would duplicating the floppy distribution boot disk and re-populating it
with the packages and stuff from the CD distribution boot disk work?
If not, how would I go about creating boot disk compatible with DachsteinCD
but with the newer syslinux? A pointer to RTFM would be just fine...
Thanks!
Ken
