Image version: 157034496 2008-10-28 22:11 debian-LennyBeta2-i386-netinst.iso Second try with daily build debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/ But it is also reproducible with a Knoppix CD, and therefore probably a general Isolinux problem not limited to the Debian Installer.

SCSI controller is an ASUS SC-200, SDMS BIOS 4.12.0.0 is delivered by the motherboard, as usual for these controllers.

After <Enter>, I get Loading /something-386/vmlinuz ..................... Loading /something-386/initrd.gz ....................................... .........................ready. After that, the machine stops activity, nothing even after 10 minutes, and does not react to Ctrl-Alt-Del. Hardware reset necessary. I also tried with Kernel boot parameters "noapic nolapic acpi=off" with the same results. After the Lenny II Beta, I tried with another CD from daily build, and I also tried with Knoppix. Knoppix gives the same result to ...........ready, just with different naming for kernel and initrd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
