I'm having some trouble booting the AMD 64 Debian Lenny installation DVD on my brand new Dell. I posted a message to the Debian user mailing list, and they suggested that I try posting a message here. Please accept my appologies in advance if this is not the correct mailing list for this post. I've never had this type of problem with Debian before, so this is new territory for me.
Each time I try to boot from the DVD the installer hangs after this message is printed to the monitor's screen: "io scheduler cfq registered" Just for kicks, I tried the i386 installer for Debian Lenny, and I got the same result. Here is the information on my system that I was able to pull of the Device Manager of Windows Vista, which is currently running on the new Dell: ACPI x86 Based PC 2AS SCSI Hard Disk (160 GB) NVidia GeForce 6150 LE Graphics Card SCSI Philips DVD-ROM Drive SCSI TSST Corp DVD-RW Drive AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600 + Please let me know if you need other information about my computer, and I'll try to find it. I can file a bug report for this if it is needed, butI wanted to check here first to make sure I'm not overlooking something simple. Can I make some modifications to run Debian on this computer? Will it help if I use an older version of Debian? (I haven't tried installing any other distribution of Debian.) Thanks in advance for all of your help. I would be happy to help test an Debian installer for any new hardware I might have on my computer if this is needed. Scott Huey P.S. - I did some seraching on the internet before I posted here. These two links might be helpful, but they were a little over my head technically. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=519517 http://deekayen.net/node/1058 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
