'Could not uncompress second stage ramdisk. This is probaably a hardware error while reading the data (this may be caused by a hardware failure or a Linux Kernel bug).'

I know it's going back in time a little but have you tried building a boot/root floppy set and booting from that?

i havn't tried that but I don't see whay I need to. Linux boots up perfectly. Says ' click enter to contune'. I do that. Does a hardware check & gives me that message.
