Dear Debian user, I have been using S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 for 2 years and today I tried to install Debian 2.0 from CDs (CS-Software, Christian Schwarz) on my Thinkpad 760 CD, with 40 MB RAM and a new 2.1 GB hard disk on which I just created a 102 MB partition with DOS on it. DOS works, as well as CD support, Modem, etc. When I start boot.bat from D:, however, Loadlin works but soon says Uncompressing Linux... ran out of input data System halted and I can only switch off the machine. I noticed that the file ltecra must be passed to loadlin.exe instead of linux for Tecra notebooks and, as mentioned in readme-t, for "other notebooks" (because of a patch to 2.0.33). Hence, I copied boot.bat to my hard disk, inserted the line D: before CD BOOT and changed the last line to LOADLIN.EXE LTECRA ... Now I got the message A20 gating failed and everything blocked. Any clue? Thank you. Yours sincerely, Remo Badii ________________________________________________________ | Dr. Remo Badii | Paul Scherrer Institute | | Nonlinear Dynamics and | 5232 Villigen PSI | | Stochastic Processes Group | Switzerland | |____________________________|___________________________| | badii "at" psi.ch | http://www1.psi.ch/~badii | |________________________________________________________|
