I did some more experimenting along the lines of my previous post ("some UMSDOS issues").
I verified that the 2.2.19 kernel from ZipSlack 8.0 at least finds init and starts running startup scripts like it should within the 9.1 setup, so there is nothing wrong with the installation.
I also verified that the files 2.4.24 claims is missing (/etc/rc.d/rcS, /sbin/agetty, et.al) actually do exist in the filesystem.
Slack 9.1 ships with 2.4.18, which I tried first, and it as well as 2.4.24 produce the same results; unable to find files that clearly exist in the UMSDOS filesystem.
I find it hard to believe that ZipSlack 9.1 would have shipped broken. More likely, some strange interaction with my system is happening: AMD 386DX-40 16MB RAM 2G Quantum ATA HD ISA IDE & I/O controller S3 928 2MB ISA video 1.44MB & 360k fdds SB16 SCSI-2 w/2X SCSI CD NE2000 at 0x280 irq 3
It all works fine with ZipSlack 8.0 which ships with a 2.2.19 kernel, and that 2.2.19 kernel used in ZipSlack 9.1 gets the boot process past the part where it can't find files with the 2.4.18 and 2.4.24 kernels.
any ideas?
