If you have had trouble booting from the installation floppy (created from boot1440.bin or boot1200.bin), please help me out.
I have been researching the problem (thanks to Bruce Perens for help and guidance), and I would now like to pinpoint a specific hardware incompatibility, if one exists. Hopefully, this will suggest a fix for the problem, or at least allow us to warn others. The problem: On some systems, using the Debian Installation Boot Disk, the linux kernel fails to decompress. (This happens *after* you have pressed <return> in response to the 'boot:' prompt.) Typical solutions: This problem is often avoided by turning off the level one and/or level two cache. Others have also suggested reducing the clock speed, or increasing the wait states. If you have experienced this, I would like to know: * Your CPU type. * Your floppy controller. * Your solution. * Anything else that might be helpful. I look forward to your replies.
