I'm trying to install debian for the first time. I've attempted booting up with the rescue disk and a debian cd, but both times the startup sequence locks up at the same point. I get a line that says:
NCR53c406a: no available ports found That's the point at which the startup crashes. Someone at ndlug (notre dame's lug) mentioned that it may be some kind of unsupported hardware problem though he wasn't sure what exactly it was. I have a pentium II 300, 64 megs of ram, a quantum fireball 6.4G hard drive, an older Toshiba DVD drive, an ATI all in wonder graphics card, and an old ISA 3Com 509 ethernet card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. George Viamontes
