I'm sorry, but given that I'm moving Thursday & spending all my time packing, I won't be in a position to give you very much help for well over a week, probably more like two. One thing that would be immensely helpful would be for you to find out exactly where things are crashing. Please build a BOOTMFS kernel with debuging symbols on your AS200 (I seem to remember you saying you had one) and try to boot it on the 2100. To do this, run src/release/scripts/dokern.sh on GENERIC and call the resulting config file BOOTMFS. Configure BOOTMFS with '-g'. After the kernel is built, strip it, compress it, and replace the kernel on the boot floppy with it. After it crashes, run gdb kernel.debug in the BOOTMFS compile directory. Then say 'l *' followed by the crashing PC and crashing RA. Eg: (gdb) l *0xfffffc00005495d0 And tell me w > Should I also try with True 64? It might be a valuable datapoint.
