(I did a strip -x on the > newly installed kernel). There's an open PR (from me) for this. Somebody suspected "strip" to be the offender, but it seems that there are more bugs. By now, you're apparantly not able to boot a stripped kernel at all. You have to boot it unstripped, which leads to a ~ 7 MB kernel causing a 16 MB machine being not able to boot multi-user (due to insufficient memory). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
