Boot Floppys
Gentlemen/Ladies,
Have in the past run both Woody and Sid by installing Potato and
dist-upgrading my way to completion.
I d/l and tested both net-install boot floppies, bf2.4 and standard (2.2.20).
In both cases I, ended up with an installed system with no video. Running
XF86config and re-setting the paramaters, had no effect.
The bf2.4 attempt recognized the problem, and referred me to a screen
depicting the vid card, monitor, mouse, etc, but I was unable to change any
settings in that layout.
Monitor= KDS 17, Mbr= Asus K7vt (slotA Athlon900), VIdcard=Gforceddr,
memory=512,
The above combo, has successfully used Most commercial Debian dists.
(Libranet, (currently). Also Progeny, Storm, Slack, Mandrake,
Conectiva, Redhat(briefly) etc. (I consider it a Linux-Box.)
The drive (And computer for the most part.) has been running Libranet,
woody, and sid for quite some time with no difficulty.
I d/l the net-install images, wiped the partitions, and tried both iso disk
(bf2.4 and 2.2.20) with the above results.
I am suspecting the 4.10 XF86 packages but at this point it is just a gut
feeling.
Sorry that I could not offer more hard data as to what is going on.
Best Wishes,
Daniel
Burns
