slackware 8.0

[Georgina]

Hi

I think that it  is in the production of the color.gz disk because the first
prompt is found compressed image at block .... and the lister hasn't
reported that.

However, that's a good consideration, sorry for overlooking that.

So lister, if your still having problems could you tell us about the
hardware?

This may be a bit of a reach but when the root disk is to be loaded, it
will load into a /dev/ram device. There is enough memory in this machine,
isn't there? I don't know how much memory is required for the /dev/ram0
for this root image but the kernel has that compiled into it so this does
surprise me a bit. Your hard disk doesn't play into this until it is
explecitly mounted by the slackware installer or by you.
