Hi, Any help will be highly appreciated!
I just bought a HP ZD7260us notebook with a P4 3.2GHz/HT CPU and without floppy drive, and tried to installl Sarge using Debian-Installer pre-rc2 and the latest /pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20041020/sarge-i386-netinst.iso. I started the installer with boot option: linux26 noapic nolapic. The installation went on fine. When it booted into Debian, from the GRUB menu, I pressed "e" key, and got the following detail GRUB info: root (hd0, 2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro noapic nolapic initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 savedefault boot The first time, it hung on: ip1394:eth1:IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0) I waited long enough and press power button to reboot, then it stoppped at (and later booting always stopped at): floppy0: no floppy controllers found modprobe: FATAL:Error inserting floppy(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/kernel/block/floppy.ko): No such device floppy: can't be loaded parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP, TRISTATE] Sometimes, when I closed DVD bay door or touch somewhere in keyboard, another message popup: synaptics: using relaxed packet validation I guess synaptics is the driver for touch pad. No further message will show up. Did anyone have similar problems? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help! Robert Fu ------- PS, from message threads I read somewhere, the installer seems should install i686 and SMP version of kernel in this case. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
