Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.22-2002-04-03 Arch: i386
host machine: I am trying to install on a Digital Celebris GL5133, circa 1996. BIOS is Phoenix 4.04, (1984-1995). Memory 64Mb. PentiumI processor. Win98 currently installed, I am looking forward to blowing it away. IDE controller is Intel 82371FB. Hard disk is 1.8Gb. System contains Toshiba XM-5302TA cdrom, but cannot boot from cdrom. Problem description: Starting from power off, I get the SYSLINUX banner ok. Then this - boot: <return> Loading linux.bin... Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue. Note the number of dots after linux.bin; it reliably fails after the third. There are interesting noises from the floppy drive at the point of failure. I Installation materials I am using: Image was downloaded from mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/linux/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/safe I checked the md5 sums, they match. I changed the floppy hardware. Same behaviour. I tried a potato boot disk. Same behaviour. Image was from mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/linux/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.26-2001-06-15/images-1.44/safe I created the rescue.bin disk with rawrite2 using the same floppy drive, and also with dd from a linux box, as per install.html. Same behaviour. A redhat 6.1 rescue disk boots perfectly. The woody disk boots perfectly on a recent (2000) Dell GX110. Any help appreciated.
