Re: debian wont boot after 2.4.24 build , strange one!
Thanks Monique,
I'll see what I can do re the errors unfortunately they're on the
console so not easy to scrape, I'll have to revert to pen + paper.
I would think Knoppix and Slackware just see it as any old 79GB
partition so if they have a restriction then that may cause a problem,
debian install had no problems with the 79GB partition and lilo?
