RE: Latest rescue disk locks up Thinkpad

[Chris Osicki <kos@gfai.ch>]

Hi Debian friends,

I have just manage to boot and load the base system (debian 1.2) on a 
ThinkPad 760E, which doesn't boot from standard rescue floppy.

I build a zImage (2.0.27) and replace the linux on the rescue floppy 
with it. Then I mounted /dev/fd0 on /mnt and did  
rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram

The thinkpad booted fine, however, during the device drivers 
installation several messages about unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.0.27 have been reported. Anyway, it an improvement :-)

I am going to try to get PCMCIA Ethernet card to work and see if I 
can install the whole thing.

I put the rescue image, kernel config file and the kernel I used to 
boot the thinkpad on my ftp-server ftp.gfai.ch/pub/thinkpad.

Regerds,
Chris
