This sounds like my problem - has there been any progress on this?
For 486's, i've been getting alot of reports that the initrd isn't being
loaded in RAM properly. This seems to be a problem relating to mknbi-linux.
mknbi-linux version 1.2-5, it seemed to work fine, but the latest LTSP
kernels were tagged with 1.2-7, and many 486's are having trouble. I've been
trying to track it down, before sending mail to Ken Yap or the Etherboot
mailing list, because I'd like to provide details, and I don't have a 486 to
test with.
Once it fails, if you could hit the Shift-PageUp key and scroll all the way
back to the beginning of the boot process, you should see where it reports
the size and starting address of the initrd ramdisk.
If you could copy down the memory map that print out, and send them to me,
that would be helpful.
Please start with the first lines after the long stream of dots. It should
start with 'mknbi-1.2-7/first32.c' I need to see about 19 lines, up through
the 'Kernel command line:'.
If everyone having trouble with booting 486's with the latest LTSP kernels
could send me that information, I can begin to track down the problem.
Thanks,
Jim McQuillan
