Thankyou Macan. I will look into it. Just some extra information. I only run
into the single user shell and need to use fsck when booting from the hard
drive. Booting using the floppy does not cause this to happen. There is
something about booting from the hard drive that corrupts the file system.

Hai,
I'm currently in the progress of booting and installing Debian 2.2 on
a poweredge 2400 with a Raid 5 perc raid controller (also known
asmegaraid?).
I compiled my own kernel, made a module version and a static
version. I used the package boot-floppies to create my own boot
disk set. I d
Have yous seen the `Remote Boot mini-HOWTO'?
Marcus' mention of GRUB reminded me of it. I just wonder if that all
could or should be integrated in some way?
The Corel fancy boot screen thing is neat... but fails to boot on my
test box.
