i have quite a predicament in installing linux flavor debian 2.2.8 i
believe...unfortunately, i don't remember the kernel...at any rate, i
have tried several flavors of linux including mandrake 7.0 (i know, i
suck but i was desparate), slackware 7.0, and finally debian
(preferred)...i tried 3 different boot disks (bare.i and root.*)...if i
seem like i don't remember a lot of what was done, it's because it was
attempted a while ago and i just now heard of this list...at any rate,
the farthest i have gotten is to the 'boot:' prompt...i hit 'enter' on
my keyboard and it attempts to load the kernel but once it does its
little thing, it reboots my machine...here are my specs...
ctx
amd-k6 200mhz
96mb / edo ram
2mb / no name vdo card
4gb / western digital hd (primary)
17gb / maxtor hd (primary slave)
cirrus logic 33.6 v.34 pnp modem
d-link 10base/t nic
ms intellimouse
i have successfully stumped 3 linux gurus (each of which are proficient
in debian and slackware...mandrake is expected i guess)...at any rate,
they have no clue as to why it won't boot into the kernel...i even knew
someone who installed it on a 486 (which isn't a surprise) but i would
imagine that their hardware is no-name equipment also so i'm
stumped...any suggestions?
later,
brandont
