Re: Debian Install on 386 floppy
Hello!
Probably the MCA and ESDI bus architecture of your PS/2 is the cause for
this problem. I will try to compile a proper kernel for you (I think 2.2
supports MCA, not 2.0), put it on a lowmem disk, and send an image to you.
But I need a bit of time as I'm quite busy now. I also don't know if 2.2
kernels can boot with 4MB of RAM. Well, I'll see and send you a mail a few
days later.
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
