I downloaded the full SLS release January 20th (Linux 0.99.pl2-55). It
installed without a hitch. Everything works fine except when I try to
make a new kernel. The make ( make dep; make clean; make disk ) runs
to
completion without errors, but when I try to boot Linux from the new
floppy, it prints the `Loading...' message as usual then goes into an
infinite loop of printing:
AX:020F
BX:5C00
CX:0E01
DX:0100.
@X:8000
It keeps repeating these five lines until I give it the 3-finger
salute.
I searched the source code for the place where it prints this but
couldn't find it (cd /linux; find . -name "*.c" -exec grep DX {} \;
-print).
Does anyone know what the problem is? I suspect it has something to do
with determining what kind of video to use. With the default SLS
kernel, when I reboot it display `EGAc' in the upper right but the bad
kernels don't get this far.
