I just remembered that it is framebuffer, not scsi, that you said was 
broken in your 2.4.31 kernel, so I will try to boot from /dev/sda1 with 
that kernel.  Can I use the initrd.gz you supplied with it?

Please include slhc in your next package.

I can add a scsi drive to the last free bay in an existing computer, 
partition/format it, and copy over BL2, chroot to it to make sure it 
works, then try booting directly to it (from DOS IDE drive) using any 
kernel and an initrd.gz with scsi modules in it.

After I give up on the laser printer.  If cleaning does not stop the 
jamming there is a $49 roller kit.

Thanks for all the custom kernels and other packages.  I use dosemu (VDE), 
netpbm, and mplayer frequently.
