It's currently running Linux without problems but I can't get the boot floppy past the copyright message. The boot loader loads and runs, it loads and uncompresses the kernel, displays the "Booting the kernel" message, prints out the copyright messages and reboots. I've also tried 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 with similar results, these both hang in the copyright message. I've checked the boot floppies by reading them back with dd and piping to cksum, the results compare OK with the images on the CD or off the net. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas would be appreciated.
