Ah hah! You have to re-build your kernel, unfortunately, The Deskpro series have been known to be really sneaky about where they hide their BIOS information. Check out http://www-c724.uibk.ac.at/XL/ for more information. I've installed Debian on a Deskpro before, but I had to build my own kernel with the patch on that page, copy it over the "linux" file on the rescue disk (I just mounted the rescue disk, it's type msdos), and run "rdev.sh" to tell the kernel the correct root image to boot. If you do that, things may work. -- Brought to you by the letters P and U and the number 1. "X -- because it's extra.
