Message from Sindi:

Compaq Armada 1573DM 233MHz, 32MB
Dropped off by a friend without hard disk and no comments.

Two-floppy BL3.50 (lilo) gets stuck after many lines of:
CPU#0: Machine check exception: 0x 107D08 (type 0x 9)

David Moberg's syslinux 1-floppy USB linux with kernel 2.4.31 just stops
loading on the second line (initrd.gz?). I think his kernel is somewhat
modeled on BL3 kernels.


BL2.1 2-floppy version (loadlin, kernel 2.2.16) boots perfectly.

I will experiment using ramdisk Bl2.1 with loadlin and various kernels.

This is the first computer where loadlin has worked when lilo has not.
