 I found that lilo < 21.4 would hang at boot with a 24Mb DOC2000. 21.5&6 both 
work fine with it. And the one that shipped with RH7 didn't even get as far 
as hanging on one of my development boxes whilst the one in 6.2 was fine (for 
some reason I've got a 15Gb hard drive attached to it).

p.s. off-topic really: can anyone recommend a place to get DOCs from in the 
UK? The last lot I tried (who M-Sys put us in contact with) took about 3 
months to ship a single chip...
