I just upgraded my mobo to a FIC-2012 (MVP3 chipset), and now I am
starting to get oopses during the partition check stage of booting. The
odd thing is that this only occurs if loadlin is called directly from
autoexec.bat. If I shell to dos first (before 'doze loads), and run
loadlin from the command prompt, the kernel boots fine! I also saw this
behavior with 2.1.123. I tried to trace the oops, and the kernel was in
free_initmem before it started going off into unknown regions of
memory. Anybody seen this kind of behavior before? I would appreciate
ideas about how to squash this bug.
