At the moment I am not able to install debian or any other linux distribution on my computer. I believe that this problem is do to my scsi hard drive, it is a AHA 2840VL, or maybe not. It sees the hard drive but the kernel panics and that is where it stops. I never get to the pretty ansi screens. I've installed debian on my other computer and had no problems, but... If you can give any advice or need more info, let me know. Cap'n Fred Newbie
