 Hello--

I built a new 2.2-stable kernel as of today and everything compiled fine... Then when I tried to reboot, I got the following messages:

Boot:

dosdev= 80, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 4

Invalid format!

after that it goes in a countinuous loop... have I done something wrong here? or is there something I should be doing?  i can boot the old kernel just fine by using /kernel.old  iused the same config file that i used for the old kernel (which was also a recent 2.2-stable kernel).

any help would be appreciated...

thanks for your time,

jay
