Re: [cobalt-users] Raq4 - Kernel 2.4 Upgrade Woes [UPDATE]

["Josh Trutwin" <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

Started over from scratch.  Pulled a completely different HD from a
different PC, 19GB.  Build Debian 3.0 on it based on the instructions
here: http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2002-June/071213.html 
Built a 2.4.20 kernel about as trimmed down as possible, used make
vmlinux.  Ran gzip -v9 vmlinux and copied vmlinux.gz and System.map to
/boot.  Swapped the drive back into the raq4.  Entered BIOS mode and ran
set_boot_dev hda1 and set_params "root=/dev/hda1".  No go, never gets past
"First stage kernel:  Decompressing - done".

Someone has mentioned CHS translations as a possible problem.  What can I
do to determine if this is the culprit?  I tired googling on CHS
transations and found a bunch of stuff that was a little over my head.

Thanks again,

Josh
