I am trying for a few days here to boot my brand new Athlon 64 box on a Sarge Installation CD. But since sarge is not yet ported to AMD 64 (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ports-status) I tried IA 64.
The computer refuses to boot off of it. It just hangs instead. At first I thought it's just a bad motherboard or bios or something, but now I tried those CDs in my Dell Pentium M laptop, and the laptop does the same thing. So I am starting to wonder if it isn't just an architecture problem. It won't boot off CDs that were not built for its architecture... In this case, will I just have to get used to the fact that I won't be able to install Sarge AMD 64 on this box until the AMD64 build is complete? Is there no way around this? And is this normal behavior in the first place? Thanks. Alex. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
