Re: Red X -- not quite gone yet...
Sven, It's 2:15 AM, and I've got a meeting tomorrow at work, so I won't be able to test these tonight. I'll try to get to them tomorrow (9/1) in the evening (US East Coast time). Please do me a favor and loop-mount the images to see if they have all the expected pieces and the pieces are of the expected sizes. That way we won't loose another round of debugging for a problem that doesn't require an actual bootstrap to discover. Thanks! Take care!

Could you try both daily-builds tomorrow ? and todays 2.4 one too. I think miboot _never_ worked for you, right ? What is your box again ?

Here again, only the ofonlyboot is ok, the boot.img is bad. You should try the daily builds too. floppy-2.4 should be ok, altough the 2.6 ones failed to build, but should be ok tomorrow.

Ok, try out : http://people.debian.org/~luther/miboot/floppy-2.6-2004.09.01 I have checked the ofonlyboot, boot and root floppies. For the old 2.4, the daily builds are ok, but i have only checked the boot and ofonlyboot floppies. If you can confirm that the daily 2.4 builds are ok again, i will then follow up to build 2.4 floppies with the miboot.image stuff in it. If none of that works, we will need to somehow fix miboot or something. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
