I've never encountered anything like this before, if somebody has any ideas (except "possible hardware problem" with no specifics, I've got that advice already...) I'd be very happy to hear them.
System: Soltek VIA P4X266 motherboard Pentium 4 1.6GHz 512Mb 266MHz DIMM Maxtor 40G hard disk PowerMagic Radeon 8500LE SoundBlaster Live! Player Intel EtherExpress PRO100 Windows XPHome installs fine. When I try to start the latest Debian installation CD-ROM the following happens. The root.bin starts to load and after 13 dots the screen gets filled halfway with colorful ASCII garbage. If I hit enter after the CD-ROM light has gone out the CD-ROM is read again for a while and the following two lines appears at the bottom of otherwise garbage filled screen: Loading linux..Not enough memory to load specified kernel. boot: The system does not entirely lock up, CTRL-ALT-DEL works at all times. -- * True character is how you act when no one is watching. * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
