We have several ICS systems here that I would like to run Debian on. Some of them work fine, but some will not get past the syslinux stage, they get to the point of printing "Loading..." and then reboot. This behavior occurs with both the slink and the potato boot disks, including the "safe" versions. I have been able to get potato to run on these systems with the following procedure: Create a 2.2.17 kernel that is tailored to the target system. (Nothing special, just an aic7xxx scsi device and an etherexpress16 nic) Create a boot disk that boots using lilo (this implies ext2) with the above kernel and an initrd that loads the slink root.bin. Write a slink boot disk (umsdos) and replace the kernel with the tailored one above. Boot the target system with the lilo boot disk. Load the root.bin disk when prompted. Load the syslinux boot disk when prompted. Off we go.... Clearly, the problem is in syslinux, but this is a work around for anyone with similar problems. Should I file a bug report on syslinux? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Ziegler) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
