Hello to everybody.
I've been following the list from June. It's the first time I write.
I have high hopes about ELKS because I have an old 286 and I'd like
to make it work for maintenance purposes: looking inside routers and
so on via serial port, or even getting the mail via slip from the
"big brother" linux, in the future. ( Am I asking too much ? )
I have the same problem reported above:
I boot my laptop with the "boot" diskette and when I get
the "VFS: Inser root floppy and press ENTER" I do it, but
my PC hangs. But if I insert the "root" floppy when ELKS is still
detecting the hardware, and it finds the right one without asking,
it completes the init.
Yes, the floppy drive keeps on spinning until I log in and issue
a command (sometimes).
I got warnings and errors also compiling elkscmd but I suspect
that's my fault.
Cheerio,
Marco.
[Hope my english isn't that awful]
