The rpms and base directories (and the rest) are on a win95 partition.
I'm aware that the previous Linux didn't support FAT32 directly, so i've
got the installation on a FAT16 wiith l/filename support. The Linux 4.1
installation was quite happy with this setup. The prolbem is actually
starting off the Linux 4.2 boot disk. I get the following when it reaches
the partition check :
Partition Check
hda: hda1 hda2
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 < hdb5 hdb6 >
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
crcerror VFS:Cannnot open root device 08:02
Kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
(I Haven't included Drive C coz it hold my 95 system stuff as does G,
which holds a second 95 installation (don't ask :)
Partition Status Type Volume Label Mbytes System Usage
D: 1 PRI DOS STUFF 803 FAT32 26%

(I have two drives, 1x1gig, 1x3.2gig, the 1 as master, the other as slave)

There's about 750MB free in my extended dos partition for linux (i'm
assuming i can do this.. if i can't doesn't matter.. that can be fixed)
