To whom it may concern,
I have 3 cd's of Debian
potato2.219pre17.
The system is a Pentium 233 asus motherboard with
matrox video card sound card and a network card and a 4gb fujitsu with 64 mg
mem.
I think is good enough for what I read. I want to
use it as an ISP server.
I was doing extremely well until the wife call me
for dinner, I was in the proses of setting the password by the time I came back
the screen went to sleep and could not wake it up.
Switched it off and can not get it
going.
If I boot it from the floppy it goes to it loading
and it get to the stage of "Warning: unable to open an initial
console.
Kernel panic. No init found. Try passing
init=option to Kernel."
If I load from cd it shows a window explaining
that:
"This si a Debian installation System, boot
floppies 2.2.23 keep it once................................
this installation set was built on 2001-04-14 by
Adam Di Carlo.
if I choose to "continue" it shows a blue screen
with a message partially covered by ASCII #. Then if I press enter, "next config
keyboard" I enter then "error loading the keymap i386/querty.................
follow by blue screen with the warning "bad tar header,skipping.
Finally
"Aiee, Killing interrupt handler
Kernel Panic:attempt to kill the idle task in
interrupt handler- Nosyncing.
Could you please advice what to do
next.
many thanks.
William.
