Package: syslinux Version: 2.04-1 Severity: normal Well, I was about to test d-i today (20040403 images in subdir floppy/acces), and can't even get the kernel fully loaded:
SYSLINUX prompts for boot options, starts to load the kernel (dots appear), and suddenly stops with the following message: Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue When I hit some key, the boot begins again, prompting me for kernel options, and hangs at the same position again. I've tried a lot of things already to make sure I am not seeing a damaged hardware problem: * Tried with 6 different floppy disks now, even from two different packs. * Physically swapped my floppy disk drive to make sure it didn't break recently. Unfortunately, absolutely the same effect happens with the "new" floppy ddrive. The message itself isn't terribly informative, and I'm afraid I reached a point where I don't know what to try anymore. I am not particularily good at asm, so reading ldlinux.asm didn't help me much either. The machine is Intel Pentium III based with 866 MHZ (so, it's not brand new, but not terribly old either.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.24-speakup Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages syslinux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44
