Hi,

I've posted this to the laptop list and got no answers. Have anybody
experienced this problem before?

After booting the 1st Cd Debian stable I am able to enter "bf24"
at the boot prompt but then the keyboard will no longer respond when the
choosing keyboard screen appears. Not enen "ctrl alt del".
It will work with Suse or M$.It will also work on debian stable 2.2 kernel
What is the work around for this?

I don't know the specific answer, but what I'd do is to use the default kernel for installation rather than the "bf24" variant and see how far you get that route. If you can get a base install in that method, you can upgrade your kernel later with a command similar to "apt-get install kernel-image 2.4.22-686" (and you'll need to add the "initrd. . ." line to lilo.conf when prompted).
