Booting on laptop doesn't continue
Dear list,
After all kinds of unsolved problems with the killed processes while
installing over PLIP (see my earlier mails to the list) I decided to create
a DOS-partition, copy the files over my parallel-link with other software
and start the installation system from there.
But, when I've copied the appropriate files (vanilla-flavour) from the
Woody-CD-ROM and start the installation by install.bat - the kernel loads
properly and will start loading a RAM-disk-image. It displays 'RAMDISK:
Compressed image found at block 0' and the cursor moves to the next line.
Nothing happens after that.
What can I do to see what's going wrong? Are there any boot-parameters
concerning laptops I could try? Why doesn't de installer load properly?
Thanks in advance for any help. I've been trying to install Debian/GNU Linux
on my laptop now for a few days. Don't want to switch to some other
distro... ;(
