| |
OK, I bit the bullet and upgraded to 2.0.27 from 2.0.23 yesterday, thereby causing the release of 2.0.28. :) I require booting to a ramdisk to start the system. Perhaps I will move to initrd, but I have a more pressing need, getting the system up, period.
Something changed in 2.0.27 from 2.0.23 in the boot sequence, the following request followed by an error message is given:
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into ramdisk and press ENTER VFS: Disk change detected.... yada yada RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid ramdisk image starting at 1500
OK, can this final line be explained? There is no note in Documentation/Changes that documents this, and it didn't seem to be an issue with 2.0.23.
Note that after this message is:
JAVA Binary support... VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER VFS: mounted root...
I believe the second line above is what I usually saw, and this RAMDISK: line appears to be new.
