Gericom Blockbuster 2440 XL: Cannot Boot

[Frieder Zschiesche <info@frielance.de>]

Hi,

I burned the bootbf2.4.iso image-file on a CD and installed Debian Woody
on my laptop (Gericom Blockbuster 2440 XL).

After the first restart of the system, the boot process stops with:

---
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesLinux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.33
    Kernel build: 2.4.20-bf2.4 #1 Mit Dez 18 20:11:49 CET 2002
    options [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel ISA/PCI/Cardbus PCIC probe:
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00.08.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 0:02.3
    O2Micro OZ6912 rev 00 PCI-to-CardBus at Slot 00:08, mem 0x20000000
    host opts [O]: [pci/way] [pci irq 5] [lat 168/178] [bus 215]
---

I already tried to boot with the "nopcmcia" option, but that didn't work
either. Any suggestions?

My goal is to install Woody, Update the SID, update the kernel and
install KDE 3.2.

Thank you so much in advance!
