That will work in most cases but not all. To be exact, it will not work on Thecus N2100 machines that have a very old firmware. In the past N2100 passed a wrong machine ID to the kernel, but Thecus fixed this later. The n2100.bin contains a kernel that explicitly sets the machine ID to N2100 so it will work with any firmware; but the vmlinuz file you reference doesn't set the machine ID (since it's intended for all iop32x machines), so it won't boot on N2100 machines with an old firmware. So my suggestion is to download http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-arm/current/images/iop32x/netboot/n2100.bin and follow the unpack instructions Tobias Frost gave. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
