>Seems like your recent problem with not booting is either something to do with the GRUB installation or a hardware quirk. Have you tried booting off any other floppies? That will narrow it down to GRUB or hardware. There is a boot disk on the pocket linux web site [http://pocket-linux.sourceforge.net/] It's an older LILO boot disk, but at least it will tell you if the hardware is okay.

I can boot off any number of disks -- the problem is definately with
the disk I'm attempting to create. I've followed the instructions to the
letter. I can use other images, etc to make boot disks that work, and
out of about a dozen bootable linux floppies I've tried, only mine is
borked. :( I've tried all the same disks, including mine, in 3 different
machines, just to be sure.
>For any corrections you find you can send them to me directly or you can send them to the list. If it's something small like a typo just send it to me, but if it's a major thing that will affect other readers, please send it to the list.

Revision 3.0 (2004-11-02)
Correction 1:
Section: 2.3.2
Current: ./configure --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --without-curses
Change: ./configure --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --without-curses
Reason: configure script prints out a warning about using "build"
instead of "host"
Correction 2:
Section: 2.3.9:
Current: ./configure --enable-static-link --enable-minimal-config
--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu
Change: ./configure --enable-static-link --enable-minimal-config
--build=i386-pc-linux-gnu
Reason: configure script prints out a warning about using "build"
instead of "host"
Correction 3:
Section: 2.3.5
Current: make menuconfig \ make dep \ make clean \ make bzImage
Change: make menuconfig \ make
Reason: This only appears to apply to 2.6.x kernels, which have a
"smarter" makefile
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm documenting what works as I go, and I'll be making the notes
available upon successful completion.
