-
- You might try upgrading, since a lot of the include files changed from
- 2.2.2d to 2.3.3. While the kernel doesn't use any standard library calls,
- the difference in the include files may be making it have problems booting.
-
- You can get 2.3.3 from tsx-11.mit.edu in the pub/linux/GCC directory.
