If you don't have my previous message of May 8, 2002 handy, here's the patch again: --- 2.orig/bin/buildit.s Sat Apr 20 20:52:05 2002 +++ 2/bin/buildit.s Wed May 8 19:19:41 2002 @@ -108,7 +108,7 @@ read-write vga=ask prompt - image=$MP/bz2bzImage + image=$MP/$KERNEL root=$FD append="load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_start=$O1 parport=0x378,7" ! I've tested this with 2.4.18 kernels built without the bz2bzImage patch. I like the fact that "off-the-shelf" tomsrtbt has lots of drivers in it, but if people build their own kernels and are more selective of what drivers they put it, they should have no trouble getting it to fit with just the regular gzip compressed kernel.
