Subject: loadlin with 2.5.32+ : bootproblems

Ave people

Has anyone used loadlin succesfull with 2.5.32 and higher?
>From 2.5.32 and higher my nfsroot setup won't work anymore.

The symptoms are:
While loading the kernel with loadlin the dots indicating how far the
loading process is are appearing on the screen. And then sudden...reboot.

At first I suspected nfsroot,so I deselected nfsroot in the .config. The
idea was let loadlin load the kernel,see the boot message and wait until
the kernel complains that he/she (?) can't find a valid root file system.
However,same symptoms.

Then I deselected preempt,no acpi. Still the same.
Athlon changed to i386. Still no joy.

Therefore,if anyone has succesfully used loadlin with 2.5.32 and higher.
Please raise your hand and send me an email. Then I can scratch loadlin of
the list of suspects.

p.s. 2.4.19 and 2.5.31 and lower works very well.
just 2.5.32 and higher won't play with me.
