Hello,
I am trying to install Debian potato on my PC.
Before the past weekend, it was already running Debian potato, but I decided I
didn't like the way my HD was partitioned, so I re-partitioned and now I can't
get the Linux kernel to boot.
I have tried the boot set from potato, slink, an
old slackware cd, and even tried a kernel from tomsrtbt, but no joy. I even
tried DiLinux from an old Debian 1.2 cd.
What happens is this: almost as soon as the kernel
boots, it detects my memory, then it gives a general proection fault and
displays some debugging information (stack trace, register dump) and locks up
completely. Pushing the reset button does work. This happens with all the
kernels I tried, although the error messages were different.
I checked my BIOS settings for something unusual,
but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Besides, this machine
was already running potato.
I couldn't find an answer searching google.com or
deja.com.
So, What next?
