Hi Debian friends, I have just manage to boot and load the base system (debian 1.2) on a ThinkPad 760E, which doesn't boot from standard rescue floppy.
I build a zImage (2.0.27) and replace the linux on the rescue floppy with it. Then I mounted /dev/fd0 on /mnt and did rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram The thinkpad booted fine, however, during the device drivers installation several messages about unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.27 have been reported. Anyway, it an improvement :-) I am going to try to get PCMCIA Ethernet card to work and see if I can install the whole thing. I put the rescue image, kernel config file and the kernel I used to boot the thinkpad on my ftp-server ftp.gfai.ch/pub/thinkpad.
