Any suggestions?
Thanks to Alex Dawson and Karsten Merker for their tips. I also found useful info at http://jobe.ca/?a=indy In fact, I have two Indys. The first one's video card is reported as "Indy 24-bit". On this one, the woody install went flawlessly, working exactly as decribed in the howto. The second Indy's video card is "GR3-X2". This is the one that produced the error above. I assume the video card is the culprit. If I understand correctly, I could in principle boot that Indy in serial console mode and install Debian on it. However, I imagine that XFree86 would not work on it because the video card is not supported. Does that sound right? Best regards, John
