SubjectRe: 2.1.106 fail to boot CRC Error
Peter Anvin (hpa@transmeta.com) responds to Thomas Quinot:
>Haven't noticed yet this has become an FAQ? 2.1.106 + zImage -> CRC
>error. 2.1.106 + bzImage runs.

2.1.106 + bzImage gives me "out of memory", but applying one
the fixes described on this list for fixing the CRC problem fixes this
too. The message containing the fix has already expired, so I
apologize for not crediting the author of this fix properly here.
Anyhow, here is the patch that from this list that worked on my
Pentium II w/128MB RAM, booting with lilo.
