Hi!
I have a problem with a diskless, remote booted machine whose BIOS supports BOOTP. With nearly all Kernels, booting gets to the 'Loading Linux........' stage and then instantly rebooting the System (looping forever). Exceptions are 2.0.31 and 2.1.93 (the only tested 2.1.x kernel) which get to 'Uncompressing Linux...' and halting with 'Invalid compressed format (err=1)' How can I debug this things further? I looked at lib/inflate.c, where this message comes from, but no clue what happens. Even arch/i386/boot/compress/misc.c doesn't tell me much.
Machine is a 486sx (HP-Manufactured, modified PHOENIX-BIOS (as shipped from HP)) with no disks (12MB ram).
Richard.
