I am trying to install Debian (1.2) on my Thinkpad 365XD. I cannot get the rescue disk to boot (I have tries both the 12/8/96 and the 1/4/97 disk sets). The symptoms are as follows. I put the floppy in the (external) drive and power-up the machine (same thing happens on warm reboots). I get through the 'boot:' prompt screens by either typing nothing or 'linux floppy=thinkpad'. In either case, I get 'Loading root.bin........' and then 'Loading Linux.........' and then nothing happens.
I had this trouble before Christmas (and have not solved it since then) and I was forced to try installing Slackware 3.0. For Slackware, the installation works just fine and I could even get a poor looking X going. Now however, if I try to latex anything, I get a kernel OOPS and a segmentation fault. TeX seems to work, but both TeX and LaTeX are symlinks to virtex. I would really appreciate any assistance on this problem.
