Description Rodary Jacques 2000-01-14 18:04:29 EST 
I installaled, 2 and 1/2 year ago, RedHat Linux 5.0  on six old Olivetti,
with 8MB RAM and 400MB HDD (actually it was an upgrade from Slackware).
Everything was OK, including a NIS server, needed to have my ~30 students
entered once. Since, when upgradind to 5.1, 5.2, 6.0 (which I payed for),
I had to cheat: boot disks greater than 5.0 gave "boot failed" messages. I
installed release 5.1, and now 6.0 with 5.0 boot.img!
I first thought it was a RAM issue, but upgrading to 32MB RAM didn't change
anything. I would be very interested to understand.
	Please  excuse my poor english.

Couldn't really upgrade to 6.0: Redhat Kernel 2.2.5 is compiled for Pentium.
But this has nothing to do with boot disk.

This is most likely a bug with syslinux on your BIOS. Please try creating
a lilo boot floppy or using loadlin.
