Hi, I'm new to Debian and haven't posted to a mailing list for years so I hope I've posted to the right place, please point me in the right direction if not :)! I tried to install Debian sometime ago and ultimately failed. I now have a lot more time on my hands to perservere and am determined to do everything I can to get it functioning and at least submit a bug report if not! Basically I have installed the latest graphical version of Lenny. The installation process runs without a hitch except for the fact it fails to detect my wireless network (I guess I need to install a driver but this doesn't concern me too much at this stage). But when I try to boot into Lenny for the first time this fails for a reason which is not immediately clear. I have attempted to boot 3 times and copied the last few lines of code that appear on the screen when doing so at the bottom of this message. As a result of a previous post on Debian forums I have tried booting (without success) with: noapic nolapic acpi=off ide=nodma and also noapic nolapic acpi=off noapm I have also tried Squeeze and hit the same problems. I have read the official Debian Lenny installation guide which states that if the installation process completes OK but Lenny then fails to boot then it is likely only a minor problem preventing the boot process. It suggests using rescue mode from the installation CD and seeking advice on how to do so. I have booted into rescue mode onto the partition on which Lenny is installed and this works OK. So basically this is just to ask has anybody got any ideas on how to fix the installation in rescue mode or any other ideas on getting Lenny to boot? Thanks in advance for any help, I have included my full system specs at the bottom of the message followed by the code that appears at the end of 3 boot processes.
