<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But the kernel boots fine. I used to get a
"kernel panic" when I had /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hda because of some horrible
docs I found. I'll try that anyways. Everything but speakup
seems to work.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Alex. Try leaving out the c:\ before vmlinuz.
Probably vmlinuz is confused when it can't understand what c:\ means. I
remember that when I had to edit my Debian start-up batchfile for
installation, it was something like: c:\dosutils\loadlin linux
speakup_synth=dectlk root=/dev/ram and so on. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tried those echo commands,
nothing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used jaws for dos to see if that worked and
it did (I start slackware from dos using loadlin).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the kernel boots however, the blt clicks
on like it's going to say something, but nothing happens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Below is the line I use to start linux encase
it helps.</FONT></DIV>
