I forgot to mention that I was using the boot disk from the Slackware 2.2
distribution from tsx-11.

Subject: Re: Linux on TP755CE? - booting problems

I am having problems booting-up. I have tried 3 different sets of
boot/root disks.

I downloaded the latest from tsx-11 and tried the bare.gz and net.gz boot
disks after gunzipping them and rawriting to floppies. The HD geometry
seems to be recognized fine - it detects the 3 partions correctly.

I get these errors:

  RAMDISK: 1474560 bytes starting at 0x....
  VFS: insert ramdisk floppy
  RAMDISK: Loading 1440 blocks into RAMDISK ..............................
  ...................

  child XXX died with code ff00

The last line keeps repeating in aloop with XXX incremented each time. I
had to reboot with the same problem.

I also tried Dave Hind's (ftp://cb-iris.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia)
boot/root disks with PCMCIA support. But I had a different problem. The
RAMDISK loaded fine.

  RAMDISK: loading 1440 blocks ....

  done.
  VFS: mounted root (minix filesystem)
  init: can't load library '/libc.so.4'
        No such library

I am stumped at this point. I could use another sey of boot/root disks
and give it a try.

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Regards,
