I was recently given an old Pentium 133 and motherboard so I decided
to replace my 486. I shutdown, opened the case, replaced the
motherboard, and tried to reboot. Well, DUH! My kernel is compiled
for a 486 and thus it panics because it finds the Pentium. See below:
Booting [kernel]...

I've kept the generic kernel around and expect I should be able to
boot from it. However, I can't load it at the command prompt as it
says it can't find it. But ls shows it. Here's some output:
ok LS
/
d dev
d usr
d stand
d etc
d cdrom
d proc
d bin
d boot
d mnt
d modules
d root
d sbin
d tmp
l var
l sys

.profile

kernel.GENERIC
.cshrc
l compat
l home
kernel.old
d modules.old
.cshrc.old
ok LOAD KERNEL.GENERIC
can't find 'KERNEL.GENERIC'
Is the problem because everything is in all caps? I have pressed the
caps lock key but it makes no difference. It's in all caps all the
time.
How can I get out of this mess short of replacing the 486 board or
rebuilding from scratch?
Thanks,
Drew
