Installation
I'm trying to install Linux Debian 2.1 onto my 
machine.
It is a PII 350 with a new UDMA 20GByte drive.
 
I currently use 
Partition Magic 5.01 pro to manage my partitions which are currently NTFS for 
NT4 and FAT32 for windows 98 SE.
 
I have read the 
installation manual for Debian and the 'Installing a new operating system' 
section of the partition magic manual.
 
No matter how I 
partition/set up my drive I or where I create the partition (I have tried 
primary and logical) get the same error when running the boot.bat file on the 
Installation CD.
 
Kernel Panic: Cannot 
Mount Volume.
 
then the machine 
stops. The system reports the drive type/technology and the partitions 
correctly.
 
I do just before 
that get an Adaptec 7000 not found message (I do not have any SCSI adapteros in 
the machine.
 
Could someone please 
tell me what (apart from still using Microsoft software) what I am doing wrong 
as I am struggling alot.
 
 
Best regards, 
Paddy
