Panasonic CF-M32 install
Hi,
I just got one of these; it's a cute little subnotebook. Naturally I want
to put Debian on it.
Problem is that the 2.1 rescue disk doesn't quite work. The boot screen
comes up, I press return, it loads the kernel off the disk; then when I'd
normally expect the kernel messages to start scrolling by, it
spontaneously reboots.
I found notes from one guy on the internet saying that he got Red Hat 5.2
onto this thing, so in principle it should probably work.
- anyone done this? what were the magic boot parameters?
- how can I try to figure out which hardware is confusing it?
- how hard is it to create a rescue disk with a different kernel,
maybe a newer kernel would work better?
- other suggestions?
Thanks,
Havoc
