Hi!
A couple of weeks ago I got a new Gericom A2 Notebook
(very small sub-Notebook with Transmeta processor, external USB 2
DVD/CD-RW).
Seems like all of the configuration is handled via
ACPI. This means without ACPI there will be no or
wrong IRQ assignment. Because of this the NIC, USB and so
on dont work.
Has any managed to install debian on such a box?
Or do you have any hints how to address the problems?
(try installing a 2.5 kernel or such)
TIA

P.S.: I managed to install debian on the box only with the help
of VMware. To accomplish this I partioned the harddisk and installed
debian in VMware onto this second partition. Because of the external
USB CD-RW I was not able to install it directly.
