I'm trying to boot a diskless HP over a network using BOOTP and TFTP. The
diskless machine gets the kernel thru TFTP and tries to boot it.

What happens is:

Uncompressing Linux...

ran out of input data

The error message varies from kernel to kernel.
With some other kernels I get:
"invalid compression format (err=3)"

I have tried both 2.0 and 2.1 and 2.2 in many ways...

If you need any more info please tell me...

Thanks in advance,
Anders
