Hello everyone. I am brand new to Linux. I downloaded and then went to
install Debian 1.3 on my Fujitsu LifeBook 535T notebook and found the
exact same problem described here by Kirk Hilliard. My laptop re-boots
indefinately, even if I boot off my Linux boot partition on my hard
drive. Loadlin works fine but my intent is to have a "pure" Linux
system. Could someone please help me with this? I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Lee Rhoads
