Another update guys and gals. I moved the Doubletalk LT and tried the boot and root disks on another computer. This computer came up talking in about 30 seconds (much better than the other computer - maybe bad floppy drive). I inserted the root disk and pressed enter but still came up with the same errors. So I used rawrite windows version to put color.gz onto a different floppy again. This time I used a laptop to make the floppy. I tried the boot and root disks on the faster responding computer and still came up with the same errors. Errors are listed below again. (error message) UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted. (error message) Invalid session number or type of track Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 02:1c Thanks for any help. rodney
