Re: Linux debian
Hello,
Sounds to me like you are trying to dual-boot with another os (correct me if
i'm wrong). You have to make sure that your linux partition is in the first
1024 cylinders or you won't be able to boot from it.
Also, check out the following link for information on your network card.

Hi!
My name is Jenner, i'm new in the linux world and i really need some help. I
have the GNU Linux Debian 2.1, i'm right now partitioning a 40Gb. disk and
the system tells me that i cannot boot from the hard drive 'cause this
distribution of linux only supports 1024 cylinders from hard disk and i got
19564 cylinders. What can i do? Do i got to always boot from the floppy?
My other problem is that i got a RealTek net card and i don't have the
drivers. Can i download it into a floppy? If i can do that, how can i
install it? If i can't do it that way what can i do?
thanks!
