Hi, I'm trying to install debian woody 3.0 r1 on a toshiba satellite 5200-800. I'm installing from a CD-Rom. Everything is going fine during the installation process (except the PCMCIA: if I try to install it, the computer freezes).
But, when I re-boot the computer, I get a kernel panic after a few hexadecimal code lines. I've tried to install different flavors, with different boot-options and different drivers, but nothing will work. What is funny is that Knoppix 3.3 seems to work all right. I installed it on another partition of the hard drive. From there, I am able to have a look at the partition where I am trying to install Debian. Using a "chroot" command, I can edit the "fstab" and run "config-base", which works fine except for the apt configuration (the program cannot recognize my CDROM). Configuring lilo manually (I also tried several options), I hoped to succeed in booting Debian, but again, I got the dreaded "kernel panic". Ten nights work or so have not been enough to solve the problem, so I'm asking for some help: what should I do? I'm totally new to GNU/Linux - please help me not to go back to windows... :( yannick __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
