ISA detection is shaky. Your chance is to add DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low to the boot prompt. Then you have a chance to enter irq io and the like. However, you are then asked a lot more questions. (This is also known as booting "expert" at least on the CDs, I'm not sure, whether this works on the boot floppies as well. > I was able to get the card to work by using insmod with the correct > io/irq from the command line. well then. > Hope this report helps. Any chance on getting the new installer to fit > inside 24MB of RAM? The installer uses approx. 32 MB, installs with that much RAM have been reported to work. So the first answer is no. HOWEVER, there is a chance if you are able to create and activate a swap partition before the modules are downloaded, thus making more room available for the ram disk. Search the archive at http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot, there was some discussion about this this or last month. Thanks for your report, and hope this helps.
