Unable to boot with special kernels 1 & 4
Hello,
I wonder whether anybody can help me. I want to move onto the
Linux 2.0 kernel via the Debian distribution, but I cannot boot with
either of the two special kernels which (I think) are most appropriate
for me. Namely, numbers 1 & 4. The error message I get is along the
lines of:
No coprocessor found and no math emulation present
Giving up
whereupon my machine just hangs there, and can only be reset with the
on/off switch. This occurs regardless of whether I enter the
customary `linux floppy=thinkpad' rune.
My hardware set-up is:
o IBM Thinkpad 360Cs, 486-SX, 20 MBytes.
o Adaptec SlimSCSI PCMCIA card.
o Adaptec EPP parallel port to SCSI dongle thing.
o Syquest removeable SCSI hard disk (from where I would like
to mount the distribution).
I haven't tried the other special kernels (they did not seem
as relevant), but the regular kernel *did* boot OK.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Hon.
