     Reply-To: set to debian-user@lists.debian.org, which is a more
appropriate list for this question.

     I suggest you try one or more of the several kernel options
(Press F3 to see the options).  I recently installed stable on a new
Compaq Presario 2100 laptop.  When I tried to use the bf24 kernel, the
machine froze on the language chooser and I had to use the power
switch to exit.  If I remember correctly, I had the problem you
describe with another kernel option, but installed successfully with
the 2.2.20-idepci, which is the default.

     I think this type of problem is hardware-specific, but at least
one of the kernel options should work on almost any hardware.

     If you have further problems, come back on debian-user and
someone will be able to help.

Regards,

Bob
