I have a t23 thinkpad from iBM. When I try using the x86 vanilla flavor kernel in the woody installation 9rescue and boot) floppies, my laptop appears to hang after the kernel loads. Since I am blind, I can't tell you where it hangs or what the screen says--just that the floppy drive makes all the appropriate sounds when loading the rescue disk but nothing happens when I put in the root disk. The floppies aren't defective; they work fine on my desktop computer. I do have an installed linux system on the Thinkpad, and I can load my vanilla 2.4.19 by floppy and it works just fine. Do I need other parameters for the rescue disk or do I need to use another flavor or later version of installation floppy? Woody's default kernel is 2.2.20. Thanks.
