Hey there folks. New (potential) Linux user here; having trouble getting Debian to install on my dinosaur system, and haven't been able to locate anything in the troubleshooting guides or user docs to help out. Upon booting from the Rescue floppy, everything works fine for a while (lots of failed to locate cdrom messages and such) until it gets to:
Partition check: hda: hda1 RAMDisk: Compressed image found at block 0 Couldn't get a free page... out of memoryVFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem) init: cache '/etc/ld.so.cache' is corrupt At which point it goes no further. The machine is a 486-33 (intel) with 120meg IDE drive (currently formated for dos 5.0), SVGA, a few other random periphrials. The boot disk is a 3 1/2 floppy and I've tried making several just in case it was a data error of some sort. My first guess is that it's trying to make a RAM disk and then running out of memory in my paltry 4 megs of ram; however I was unable to locate any boot options for disabling this, and I have no idea if that's really it being that I know next to nothing about Linux. It is version 2.0.27 of Debian. Any thoughts or perhaps pointers to documentation which adresses this appreciated. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
