well, I didn't apply any option during the installation apart the italian language and keyboard, simply because I am quite a newbie about linux so I do not know what is the best thing to do. I also tried to install with the new kernel (linux26 command) but the system refused to go further (it simply stopped and no key was able to "move" it), so I installed the regular (2.4) kernel. The disk has a Windows NTFS partition (first primary partition), a second primary partition ext3 for "/" and a fifth logical for "swap". The bootloader (GRUB) was installed (seemingly) regularly. I can still choose (and run) Windows XP.
the lines of GRUB for starting linux are the following: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 savedefault boot best regards, Giancarlo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-laptop@lists.debian.org> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 11:47 AM Subject: Re: problem with rebooting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
