can anyone suggest a particular flavor of boot/root disks to use to install slackware on my 755cd? i've tried bare, abare & aaztcd boot disks from www.nectec.or.th & i get a kernel panic as soon as i pop in the root disk. this is so basic i'm almost embarrassed to post it, but i've read the entire contents of the sites people forwarded to me (http://peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux/tp-linx ux.html and http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/) and i can't get past inse rting the root disk. i used the 'floppy=thinkpad' advice, but the boot disks require it in the form of either 'ramdisk floppy=thinkpad,' 'drive2 floppy=thinkpad,' (which doesn't apply) or 'mount floppy=thinkpad.' i'm told i should be using ramdisk, but i tried the others just to see. same thing every time: 'Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:1c' anyone?
