Sir,

Sub : Installing Debian 5 Lenny 64bit from DVD - Problem


      I downloaded DVD version of Debian 5 Linux 64bit (IA) from your site ( 2 ISO images), I tried to install it on my Intel Core2 Duo machine. while trying to boot form the DVD ROM, No boot screen for Debian, a cursor is blinking and system hangup only. I also tried to install it on VMware Workstation 6.5 for Windows, same problem.

What is the reason? 

Intel Dual Core possessor suppet ET64, is this version is not suited for my computer.

I used it for testing, after successful installation and configuration, we planned to implement our DSpace digital library on Debian 5. (Server : IBM x3400 - Dual Quad Core Xeon Processor with 2 GB RAM and RAID 5)

I would try using a netinstall cd. You may have burned a bad image and there may have been some files that were corrupted when the image was burned. You can try reburning the image that you have at a slower speed also. The amd64 version should work on that system as well as the other ones.

I wanted to clarify my posting, I realized after I hit the send button that you said you used the IA 64 version. You need the amd64 version. I would still recommend using the netinstall cd and install what you need. I apologize for any mix up from my previous post.
