I've had that happen often when I failed to boot MacOS with extensions off, and also when I tried to boot Linux from an external scsi drive. You can enable some of the options in Penguin to record its progress in disk files, and then go back to see how far it really got after the attempt. Penguin 19, in Debian 3.0, has some improvements; I don't know if that would help but it's always worth a shot. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance)
