Hello,
I'm using Linux BIOS with etherboot-filo. I have a usb stick has a kernel and a usb aware initrd on it. The problem I am having is when I use etherboot-filo to boot off of uba1:/boot/vmlinuz initrd=/boot/initrd root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200. I get this: Mounted reiserfs Found Linux version 2.6.6 (daubin@buildserver1) #3 SMP Thu Jul 8 09:25:46 EDT 2004 bzImage. Loading kernel... ok Loading initrd... dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046d9d dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046da1 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046da9 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046db1 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046db9 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046dc1 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sector=00046dc9 dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td dma_to_td: can not find td Disk read error dev_type=3 drive=0 sec
Ultimately I get this invalid image:

I've also placed an elf image of the kernel & intird, but it too failed, but it seemed to fail in not even seeing the initrd bundled in the elf. This same elf works fine in etherboot. Any sugestions?
Thanks, Dave
