Hello, I am trying to install Debian in a new Dell M70. I first used a CD with the testing installer, but although it was able to boot from the CD, later it did not recognize the CD. I have read in other places that it have to do with SATA controller for the CD and the HD. Then I tried the stable installer with a kernel 2.4. It installed Debian with no problem. With aptitude I install a kernel 2.6.8 (still in stable distribution), and when rebooting I get a kernel panic (no /dev/console can be found, attempting to kill init). As far as I have discovered with google help, it have to do again with the SATA harddisk. I have followed several advices of people with same problem, basically, to change menu.lst of grub from root=/dev/hda1 to root=/dev/sda1. No result. Still kernel panic. Moreover, I try testing distribution to see what happens. Now not only with kernel 2.6 but even with kernel 2.4 i get a kernel panic.
Thanks for your help. oscar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
