When trying to load a 2.6 kernel from a FreeDOS environment, I am now very consistently unable to load the kernel and an initial ramdisk via LOADLIN.
The nature of the embedded system I'm working with, requires that DOS be present prior to loading linux during an interactive startup and hardware intialization phase.
Since it doesn't seem that Hans Lermen has been updating or maintaining loadlin since the release of 2.4 is there anyone who is continuing to maintain LOADLIN, or has it fallen by the wayside? Due to the nature of the system, and a requirement for backwards compatibility and user interaction during startup, I cannot use Peter Anvin's SYSLINUX linux loader which occurs too early on in the process.
Are there any other options to startup a linux environment from DOS?
