I already tried this but still got the 'Kernel panic' message. But, it HAS something to do with it. I doubled the initial ram-disk size set in palo (something like lilo on i386) and I no longer got the message about 'incomplete write'. I just got 'Kernel panic. No init found.' Probably some other messages just scrolled by and I did not have the time to read them; scrolling happens in just the top line, so you immediately loose the previous lines. Therefore I connected an HP Terminal (700/96; brings back memories :) and changed the console to the serial port. Now the machine booted just fine. So it took me TWO things to change: -doubling the ramdisk_size to 32768 -changing from framebuffer to serial console
Probably de-activating the framebuffer could also help, but I tried the parameter debian_installer/framebuffer=false, and this still brought up the framebuffer console. Installation has just started, I'll keep you informed. Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
