Struggled to setup OS on ASUS P4S533-X with Intel P4, 1.8GHz CPU.
First found out it wouldn't load Windows 98 or earlier. Then I tried my
Woody installation disks and got errors. Next I tried to load the next
Debian version by CD using netinst: Debian GNU/Linux testing "Sarge" -
Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20040930).
Downloaded the ISO, then burned a CD on a P3, 733 MHz system
(which runs Woody). I tried testing the netinst CD on the P3 System, but
it failed loading installer components from the CD. It didn't even load
fdisk, so I was sort of stuck here. Then I tried to check CD-ROM
integrity and it failed MD5 checksum verification on
./install/2.6/initrd.gz
I ran the MD5SUM.EXE on the component and found it to be the same as the
checksum on the MD5SUM.TXT file on the CD:
d0e0ecffd33d919023ded989eb860bce ./install/2.6/initrd.gz
d0e0ecffd33d919023ded989eb860bce *initrd.gz
Finally, I went to the P4 System and got it to run and install
Sarge with the base-config OK. So in checking hardware requirements I
found nothing to indicate a restriction for either a P3 or a P4 system on
either Woody or Sarge. Yet my motherboard manual does specify Windows
98SE or later in the back of the manual. Is this some HW problem with
Sarge and Woody installer disks, such as a memory mapping change between
the MB or CPU?
