Hi,
I know you aren't going to want to hear this, and I'm sure there must be a
better way. But...
I recently installed Debian 2.2r0 on a 486 I have around here and the exact
same thing happened to me. I couldn't get any answers that worked, so what I
ended up doing is going back, and with cfdisk deleted everything from the
disk, re-partitioned, then re-installed. Since then it's worked fine.
Originally I installed using partitions I had set up from a SuSE install.
As I said, I'm sure there's a better way, but that's what worked for me.
