Help - Can't install on IBM PC
Greetings;
Yesterday I tried to install Debian on an IBM NetVista model 2254.
This is a 1.+ Mhz Pentium that was running Win2k satisfactorily but
has recently been replaced.
I tried to install Debian from the iso cd image #1 but no luck.
Same results when I tried several other linux distribs. The machine
resets and reboots at what looks like the end of the hardware
scan phase. At that point the screen goes blank and a few seconds
later it starts the POST.
The machine runs all the DOS type stuff and Partition Magig just fine.
BTW, I put the CD drive and the HDs in an AMD-K? box and I could
install fine on it so the media and storage are definitly OK.
I spent several hours searching the IBM site to no avail. I am
hoping that someone here might be able to shed some light on this
problem, and maybe have a solution too!
Many TIA,
Dennis
