Re: Can't boot off the live CD...

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Hi Matt,
:
:I had a serial cable around and was able to get the text. Below is the
:output from boot -v and trace.

   Ok.  I have a patch (enclosed below).  Are you able to compile a new
   kernel or do I need to generate a new ISO for you to burn?

   This will not make 'xl' work, but hopefully it will allow the kernel
   to continue booting.
