Broken file server update (by )

I've tried blanking the primary disk and reinstalling from scratch.

No luck - it's still not booting, with exactly the same symptoms.

Could it be a problem with the disk? My machine can boot a kernel from floppy, after all. Although the floppy kernel is one that's designed to be small enough to fit on a floppy, so it could be a memory problem prohibiting large kernels from running.

Well, for my next trick, I'll try a different hard disk. I don't think I have any as big as the current one lying around, however, so it'll have to mean running with a smaller disk. Oh, well...

Wish me luck 🙁
