I have a Dell Latitude CPi notebook, and recently ran into some nastiness involving the boot process. The machine is using an April 24th world, and up until now had been using an April 24th kernel. Leaving aside problems with pcm hanging the kernel at boot, things seemed to work largely fine. Yesterday, I decided to copy over an April 28th kernel with some custom network hackery to the notebook -- this kernel works fine on a number of other machines. However, when I attempted to boot the kernel, I ran into the following problem: ok load /boot/kernel.bad/kernel don't know how to load module '/boot/kernel.bad/kernel' Reverting back to an April 24 kernel seems to work fine. Interestingly, I also had some problems booting some other kernels from floppy -- the kernel seemed to load ok, but then hung during the twiddling line bit of the boot process.
