Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 4700 Desktop with the usual i386 architecture.. I have a single 80 GB harddisk and I have installed winxp in a 20GB partition and formatted another 40GB partition with NTFS.. Now I have a 20GB unpartitioned space.. I wanted to install Debian in this space.. But whenever I try to boot with the Debian CD it first goes to the "boot:" prompt and when I press enter for the default installation it shows some messages on screen and freezes. The final three lines are as follows: hda: PHILIPS DVD+/-RW DVD8631, ATAPI CDROM drive hde: WDC WD800JD-75JNAO, ATA DISK drive ideo at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 It doesn't do anything beyond this.. I also tried booting with a DVD and CD 2 and CD 3.. But always it freezes at the same point.. Could anyone please suggest what I should do to circumvent this problem.. Thanks in advance UKC |
