i have quite a predicament in installing linux flavor debian 2.2.8 i believe...unfortunately, i don't remember the kernel...at any rate, i have tried several flavors of linux including mandrake 7.0 (i know, i suck but i was desparate), slackware 7.0, and finally debian (preferred)...i tried 3 different boot disks (bare.i and root.*)...if i seem like i don't remember a lot of what was done, it's because it was attempted a while ago and i just now heard of this list...at any rate, the farthest i have gotten is to the 'boot:' prompt...i hit 'enter' on my keyboard and it attempts to load the kernel but once it does its little thing, it reboots my machine...here are my specs...
ctx amd-k6 200mhz 96mb / edo ram 2mb / no name vdo card 4gb / western digital hd (primary) 17gb / maxtor hd (primary slave) cirrus logic 33.6 v.34 pnp modem d-link 10base/t nic ms intellimouse i have successfully stumped 3 linux gurus (each of which are proficient in debian and slackware...mandrake is expected i guess)...at any rate, they have no clue as to why it won't boot into the kernel...i even knew someone who installed it on a 486 (which isn't a surprise) but i would imagine that their hardware is no-name equipment also so i'm stumped...any suggestions? later, brandont _________________________________ cell: 303.641.3869 home: 303.774.9742 alpha: [EMAIL PROTECTED] email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________
