I'm still having some trouble getting an upgrade finished from 2.2.5 to 3.1. First gotcha was that the old boot loader does not recognize the new (ELF) kernel format and always says: wrong format! or something when trying to load the kernel. Writiung the new bootloader should be included as an option in the upgrade procedure. My system is a 486 DX2/66 in this case with 32MB Ram and a VLB Eide controller. I was able to boot the 3.1 release generic kernel but after linking a new kernel (adding ccd support since I have a ccd device) and overcoming the missing atkbd, vga and some third device that escapes me for the moment I was able to build the kernel. lptattach() was flagged as being passed wrong number of argumwnts. btw. (maybe it's deprecated anyway, but I'm just mentioning). But trying to boot the kernel in single user mode make the keyboard lock at the single user mode prompt when it is being asked for giving the root sh (sh): Since BOUNCE_BUFFERS is obsolete now I'm wondering whether my system will see the full 32 MB. -- Chris Christoph P.
