I can't get my machine to boot the 2.2-ALPHA boot.flp in my desktop machine, where I'd like to try keeping -current. It's running 2.1.6.1 right now, and has already run 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 without any trouble. The boot sequence is as follows: ... Boot: dosdev= 0, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 2 Booting 0:fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x24b000 text=0x115000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0x1f4] total=0x36146c entry point=0x24b000 Uncompressing kernel...done Booting the kernel _ ^- this above is the blinking cursor The keyboard still works (caps-lock and ctrl-alt-del), but nothing more happens. Note also that this is not new. I'm trying to run -current since May -SNAP (sorry, don't remember the date number), and never has worked. Which kind of info can I send to help find the problem ? It's a 486 DX2/66, VLB/ISA, 32M Ram, ALI chipset, IDE HD.
