Re: Problem installing Potato on Inspiron8000
Hi,
first of all: Don't worry, Debian CAN be installed on the I8000 so
that absolurly everything runs perfectly!

Probably, you use a kernel with activated PCMCIA support which is
causing a kernel panic during boot unless you install a patched version
of pcmcia-cs. You should be able to boot in single user mode though.
I put a tarball (dell.tgz) at http://people.debian.org/~gbechly/
with all the necessary files and docs to install Debian on the
Dell I8000. This tarball also includes a customized kernel 2.4.3
as deb and patched debs for pcmcia-cs and SVGAlib.
Best luck,
Guenter
