I installed the XFree86 distribution, and it complained about not having the X stuff in the kernel. I traced it down to using syscons, so I deinstalled it, and reused the pccons driver. Rebuilt the kernel, and rebooted after installing the new kernel, and now the machine just will not boot. I get a page full of errors that scroll too fast to read, but have something to do with wd: hard errors and then the machine reboots. I tried to boot off the 0.2 dist and fixit disks, but it hangs after I get the copyrights (it never probes). I can boot off of the dist 0.1 floppy, but when I tried to copy the kernel from the fd to the hd and reboot, it fails with same errors. I can get the 0.2 dist floppy to boot on another machine,so I guess it is bombing on my clone ide controller? iI had thought that at first, but I recall the first probe to be the console... Any help would be appreciated. System configuration: 486-50dx, 8megs ram, 256k cache trident 8900 1 meg video card ide hd/fd/serial card maxtor 7213 hd J
