Subject: CRC ERROR!! when booting from floppy
Date: 10 Sep 1993 13:34:43 GMT

Hi,
        I just installed SLACKWARE 1.0.3 on a Comtrade EISA/VLB 486/66 with 2
ide drives,
Mitsumi CD-ROM drive and Sound blaster 16 card.

        I did a full install of everything and the boot floppy was created. But
when I boot
from this floppy I get:

                Loading.....................................
                Uncompressing Linux
                CRC Error
                System Halted

        I have rebooted from the distribution "bootdisk" and successfully
mounted the
partitions created on the ide drives during the installation process.
Everything on the
ide drive partitions seems ok.

        I also tried to run lilo to enable booting from the hard disk instead of
the floppy
but I get:

                can't open device: /tmp/dev.0

        There is a block device created dev.0.
        
        What, if anything, can I do to fix this problem.
        
        Thanks very much for any assistance.
