I can say from experience that this is not the case. In fact, the kernel binaries (RPM) I provide on my Z505 page (http://www.foogod.com/z505_linux) are bzImages (currently those are still test5, though I have used later ones on my own machine as well, and will probably be upgrading the page to 2.4.0 final eventually). I will admit that I haven't tried booting them from a floppy.. perhaps this is where the problem lies. The Z505HS does have a USB floppy drive, which is the only thing I can think of that's different from most other machines which might affect this, but I do know that that doesn't stop a 2.2 kernel from booting off of it (though there are problems accessing the floppy after the initial boot without USB drivers, of course) I will look into building a 2.4.0 floppy-bootable kernel on my Z505 and see if I can reproduce the problems you're having. -alex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
