:( I'm sorry, the previous thread is not the right error message. Maybe
someone can delete it or replace it with this. I'm reduing this for the sake
of others that are searching the web for this problem.

Here are my Errors after I completed Chapter 3, and booted with the new root
disk.

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 4194304
VFS: insert root floppy and press ENTER

Here's the Run down:

Software:
 - Distribution = Suse 9.1
 - Bash = 3.0

Chapter Modifications:
3.3.2 -
  ...
  bash# ./configure --enable-minimal-config --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu
  ...

3.3.3 -
  bash# ldd bash
    linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40034000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40037000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux/so/2 (0x40000000)

3.3.4 -
  ...
  mkdir /mnt/lib/tls
  bash# strip --strip-unneeded -o /mnt/lib/libdl.so.2 /lib/libdl.so.2

  bash# strip --strip-unneeded -o /mnt/lib/dl-linux.so.2 /lib/dl-linux.so.2
  bash# strip --strip-unneeded -o /mnt/lib/tls/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libc.so.6
  bash# chmod +x /mnt/lib/*

  bash# chmod +x /mnt/lib/tls/*


------------------------

I created a new floppy, formatted it, and coppied the image again, no go. I
looked at the draft for v.3.0 and entered the grub prompt manually. Still no
go.

Google searching doesn't bring much that I can work with here. Any
suggestions on what to do next? Thanks

Eric
