Hi there,

I ran into a boot Problem on an embedded Box (AMD Elan400 based)
using syslinux and a 2.2.19pre7 Kernel (does not work on 2.2.19pre9 as well).

Strange enough the box boots just fine when using a raw boot kernel on
Floppy Disk instead of syslinux using exactly the same Kernelimage and
a DOS formated Floppy with syslinux installed.

Here is what ksymoops tells (on a 2.2.19pre7, but its the very same on the
2.2.19pre9).

I hope that you are more familiar in interpreting this than I am.

Sven
