hi,
since i'm kinda curious, i've tried to 'upgrade' my (flawlessly)
running 2.1 system ;) (according to the 'brute-force' advice in the INSTALL.TXT)
but i didn't even get the generic kernel from the boot.flp to boot:
the last two lines i got/get to see:

rootfs is 1200 Kbyte compiled in MFS
panic: double fault

hmm ... yes, i've disabled everything which might cause conficts, using
the '-c' bootflag ...  and i know, i have some kind of weired hardware:
a pci-486/120 with aha1542 and more than 16 MB memory. might there be something
wrong with the double-bounce-back-buffer code (or what was the name of the 1542
16 MB dma limit workaround...) ?
so short,
frank
