Hi people,

    I first want to say thanks for all the good information that comes
out in this list.  I replaced the linux source package (de-installed,
reinstalled) with the lx-suse source package and reconfigured /
recompiled my kernel to support an AWE 64 card.  Post this, I managed to
frag my boot floppy and since then, have not been able to create a boot
floppy that will get me into my root system successfully. I have been
getting in with the S.u.S.E. install disk and CD... I was always
successful in the past week with a boot floppy created by YAST / sys
admin / create boot disk ... However now with a disk created in the same
way, I get into the boot start load of my root file system on /dev/sdb1
and all hardware is recognized and config'd as normal, then right after
the nic is recognized I hang at:

VFS mounted extfs2 ect. ect. ect.  (or something like this)

And that is all she wrote!

I have to go back in with the install disk again.. I saw someone
mentioned removing LINEAR from the LILO.CONF file with regard to another
boot problem posted here. I will try that next when I leave here...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
