Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 4700
Desktop with the usual i386 architecture.. I have a single 80 GB harddisk and I
have installed winxp in a 20GB partition and formatted another 40GB partition
with NTFS.. Now I have a 20GB unpartitioned space.. I wanted to install Debian
in this space.. But whenever I try to boot with the Debian CD it first goes to
the "boot:" prompt and when I press enter for the default installation it shows
some messages on screen and freezes. The final three lines are as
follows:
hda: PHILIPS DVD+/-RW DVD8631, ATAPI CDROM
drive
hde: WDC WD800JD-75JNAO, ATA DISK
drive
ideo at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
It doesn't do anything beyond this.. I also tried
booting with a DVD and CD 2 and CD 3.. But always it freezes at the same point..
Could anyone please suggest what I should do to circumvent this
problem..
Thanks in advance
UKC
