Re: Non Working Keyboard
Dne, 21. 05. 2010 02:56:32 je David Hoff Jr napisal(a):
I have an older computer which use to have Windows XP on it. It
currently has Vinux 3.0 on it. I downloaded the Debian I386
installation version of 5.0.4 ISO and burned it to CD. When I try to
install it, I get an opening screen with an installation menu which
then freezes. I have no apparent keyboard input, and of course no
mouse.
I tried the same CD on a newer computer and it first brings up an
option to choose my language and then brings up the installation menu
which is accessible from my keyboard. It then brings up a license
screen. At that point I abort the install.
What do I need to do to install this to the older computer which has
an AMD 1500+ mz processor.

From the symptoms you describe, and ruling out bad RAM (you HAVE of
course checked for bad RAM, haven't you?), my first guess would be "an
aging optical drive, combined with a flakily burnt CD". Such
combinations can prove hard to overcome. Suggestions: temporarily
installing a newer optical drive into the box; or burning another CD,
preferably on a different drive/machine, and on different brand of
media, and at the slowest burning rate available; or perhaps, for the
adventurous at heart, even asking uncle Google about "installing Debian
directly from an ISO file on the hard drive, without burning a CD".
