Comments/Problems:
When trying to install using either the 2.4 or the 2.6 kernel, the
laptop locks up shortly after booting from the CD-ROM. The laptop is
unresponsive and must be turned off.
This particular problem did not happen with beta4 (although there were
other problems with respect to ide-cd under 2.6 and my wireless LAN
PCMCIA card).
The last few boot message lines for the 2.4 kernel are:
VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 92k freed
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.
The last few boot message lines for the 2.6 kernel are:
VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 200k freed
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
NET: Registered protocol family 1
I also tried adding the boot parameters "noapic nolapic
debian-installer/framebuffer=false" for both kernels and I got the same
results.
