Sorry. I'll tell you all I can think to tell. Here is my lilo.conf (pertinent parts):
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-1-686 label=2.6.0 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.3-1-686 Both /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-1-686 and /boot/initrd.img-2.6.3-1-686 exist. running lilo gives me this: Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/hda' Added 2.4.24 * Added 2.6.0 As you can see I am currently running 2.4.24. It boots without any problems. Both are the apt-gettable official debian binary packages. I have tried the option "acpi=off." I wrote this: 2.6.0 "acpi=off" It still did "Uncompressing kernel.... bootting Linux kernel." And then stops. Thank you, David On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 14:49, s. keeling wrote: > Incoming from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > > > I have a dell insipron 8200 with debian sid installed.
