Well, I think something went goofy at some point since it wasn't the |
| 20 |
config. I did try to open it and got the usual garbage stuff not a text |
| 21 |
file. If I recall correctly, that was on a drive that later died. It |
| 22 |
very well could be that it just went corrupt. Also, that kernel had |
| 23 |
been used before, it just didn't work that time. It's been a while back |
| 24 |
and was on another machine. So far, the last time I had a kernel fail |
| 25 |
on first boot was waaaaaaay back when I was first creating my own |
| 26 |
kernels and was learning what options were a must have. That would be |
| 27 |
back around 2003 or so. |
