Help! As I am new to debian I am not sure what package the problem
actually corresponds to. The version listed above is the linux kernel
version, Debian version 2.1. I first tried installing Debian using the
rescue floppy. After using the default boot command "linux" it printed:
"Loading root.bin.............
Loading linux........" < and at this point after a little my computer
simply restarts. I then tried installing Debian from my dos partition with
the install.bat batch file, I successfully went through the entire install
process, creating and initializing both linux swap and native partitions.
Once everything was finished, I created a boot floppy and restarted...this
time, after the "boot:" prompt, it continued on its own after a couple of
seconds, printing : "Loading linux......." at this point it
restarts........ Then, I reinstalled the entire thing from my dos
partition and at the end I chose to boot from the native linux partition,
following the directions to the word. I restarted my computer, and it
begins loading LILO, but during its loading process it never gets past the
first line, my computer restarts and continues doing the same thing, over
and over again. This is all on a Toshiba 325CDT, 64mb ram, pentium...

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.
Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels. There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.
In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.
Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.
The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
