Subj:loadlin with 2.5.?? kernels
Date:10/20/2002 9:03:34 AM Eastern Daylight Time From:<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] To:<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] Sent from the InternetGreetings,
I hadn't had time to build/test kernels since 2.5.8-pre3. I now find that loadlin doesn't work on my box any more. Is this a known problem? If so, when did it quit working? (loadlin obsolete? other?)

At the moment, the only way I have to boot is via floppy.
loadlin will not work with any kernel that is 1024k or greater in size. There is a replacement named "linld" at:

which help you.
Yeah, that's always been a pain, but that's not what I'm hitting (violent reboot). I'll give linld (thanks!) a shot, but mostly, I want my dearly beloved loadlin back ;-)
