Thanks
for your reply
Concerning your short question which boot image I
used:
I have downloaded a rescue. bin that I 've found
in
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato-pr
oposed-updates/disks-i386/current/images-1.44
I think because there are other folders called
idepci, compact, udma66 and safe, that
this must be the rescue.bin belonging to the so
called 'vanilla'.
I think vanilla contains rather more modules and
drivers than compact. Right?
So I understand the description in
http://www.debian.de/releases/stable/i386/ch-Insta
llationsmethoden.de.html under 5.3.(it's a german
page)
But the system hangs.
Perhaps it will help
the last four lines before the system will hang. I
wrote them down from the screen
(scsi0) Adaptec AHA-2940X host adapter found at
0/12/0
(scsi0) narrow channel scsi ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
(#whatever it means)
(scsi0) downloading sequenzer ....415 instructions
downloaded
scsi: <fdomain> detection failed (no card)
again:
PC P90, 64MBRam
ASUS board p55TP4xe AWARD Bios 1994-95
AHA 2940 SCSI controller ID=7
HD 80hex 1GB (the old one with M$Win95) ID =0
(Seagate)
HD 81hex 10GB (fdisked one primary partition) ID=1
(IBM)
CD-Rom ??hex ID=4 (Toshiba Xm3501)
on board fdd and ide, ide disabled
not bootable from cd
thank's to all who will help me to get linux
running on this hardware
Christian
