Re: Debian 2.0 booting problem
I have been having the same problem... the system often hangs right before
this process (not showing it), often so long that i get impatient and just
power my system down and boot back up, it seems to only hang momentarily
every other time i boot... I don't have any PCI slots (it's an old 486 DX2),
so I suspect that is why... any way to disable all these PCI checks?
and, as to JY's reply to Suresh's original post re: battery, I suspect the
battery for this system is pretty old. I got it second hand, but considering
that it's a 486, i'd have to assume.
Thanks for help,
Nick
