Hello Krystian,

> Hmm. It'd be more useful if you used ksymoops. 

Sorry i am a complete Linux newbie, where/how do I use ksymoops? I have never seen this before. Is it a
bootstrap commandline option? 
Remember I do not get to a Linux comandline prompt when trying to start Linux
as the kernel crashes while trying to set the system clock. I can only get
to a Linux Shell when I run the installer (which doesn't crash).

I can try this again, but the last time I tried this, dmesg couldn't find
anything.

Where do I get a different version from? Sourceforge kernels? I find the
layout a bit confusing. My currently installed version came from a CD ISO
image that I burnt to CD and is V2.2 IIRC.

How do I copy from the Amigaside to the linux partition. All my attempts so
far on cross system copies have not been successful. 

Is there an Amiga dev handler (or something) to allow Linux partitions to be
mounted? I could not find one on Aminet.

Is this on the Linux side? I have to go now, but I will try this tomorrow
possibly. 

Kind regards,
