Bug#142076: NETINST boot CD (3.0.22) will not boot on Toshiba Satelite 2530CDS laptop
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.22
I attempted to install Debian 3.0 (Woody) on my Toshiba 2530CDS laptop (bios
version 8.0, the most recent) using the Netinst boot CD (3.0.22
bootbf2.4iso). The computer doesn't recognize the CD as bootable. It just
passes it by and boots to the HD. The CD does boot on other systems just
fine (I tested it on 2 others). I confirmed that the laptop was configured
correctly by checking the BIOS settings and booting to a Gentoo Linux CD,
the Gentoo CD seems to work just fine. It is only a minor inconvenience
since I was able to install from floppies. In fact I was able to boot the
system with the rescue and root floppies and then load the drivers from the
CD, and at the first reboot step Debian correctly recognizes the CD as
bootable and warns me to take it out.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.0(Woody), kernel 2.4
Thank you very much,
