That's interesting. Do you remember how you did it? > So depends how you've built it, and what/where its failing. I can't really tell; that's the problem. As I said before, it says "Mount root file system from cd9660:acd0" and then hangs without any more messages. I read the things another guy posted which apparently is evidence for a buffer overrun or something like that, but I'm not sure. > Id recommend just grabbing the LiveCD stuff Fugspbr made.

I went to the site, and they sent me to their archives. I found a link to sourceforge, but I can't read any of it. Are you sure there is an English version anymore? Anyway, I would like to know how you loaded the filesystem in through the boot loader if you could tell me; this may be a solution for me. -- Signed, Dan Harrison
