Without any more information, I can't say much - I can only say that it 
worked the last time I tried it (after some fixes) on both of my

Anyway, if you not intend to work on the kernel, IMHO it's currently 
okay if it's not working for you (at least, we have to live with it for 
now).
AFAICT it currently doesn't boot in Bochs, which is kinda unfortunate.

Dunno if this is causing any trouble. My main concern in getting in 
running was to find working floppy disks :-)

Adios...
