Hi all,
I am helping my friend install debian in this machine:
CPU Intel Q6600 - CORE2 QUAD Q6600 1066 Mhz 2.4 Ghz
- Mobo Intel DQ35MPE Sound / VGA / SATA / GBLAN
- CPU Intel Q6600 in a box
- 4.0 Gb mem DDR2 800 Mhz (4 x 1 Gb)
- Video GF 8600GT 512 Mb PCI-E, XFX, 128 bits
- HD 500 Gb SATA II, 8 mb cache
We downloaded an i386 etch netinstall (md5 ok), booted the machine, but
the install hanged before the language choosing screen, with:
acpi: assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0
Reading and googling, we found some commands to try, so we set sata to
ahci in the bios, then we booted the machine again, trying to install with:
install pci=nommconf
This way the installer went a little further, but it was unable to
detect the cd-rom drive, so we got stuck again.
We also tried with a debian i386 testing netinst cd hangs in 'booting
the kernel...'.
Would amd64 arch do better?
Anybody here succeeded installing debian in a similar machine?
thanks!
Bruno
