22 **** WARNING: READ THIS IF YOU'RE USING A 2.1.x EXPERIMENTAL KERNEL ****
24 WARNING: There seems to be a bug in some recent experimental Linux
25 kernels that causes floppy disk corruption when using the Linux
26 syslinux installer. This bug exists in kernels 2.1.79-2.1.86; as far
27 as I know it was fixed in 2.1.87.
