Hello all.
I'm trying to install Debian 2.0 on my computer, but I'm running into
trouble (what's new, right?)...any help would be appreciated.
I am attempting to install from a fat32 partition. I downloaded the
appropriate files (per installation guide) and ran install.bat. The
kernel boots properly, but that's where everything stops running
smoothly.
When I got the installation screen the first time (where it asks for
screen mode), it froze. No keyboard input was recognized, no key
sequences worked (e.g. cntrl-alt-del). I had to turn off the computer to
reboot.
Upon multiple reboots I've been able to make it pass the mounting a root
partition step. Afterwards it freezes. No additional reboots seem to
help.
The Compaq Presario i'm installing debian on is a p166 and 56 meg ram.
two ide hard drives: hda - 2.1 gig Quantum Bigfoot
hdb - 6.4 gig Quantum Bigfoot
of the two, I'm installing on hdb (two linux partitions, hdb3 swap, hdb4
linux).
Again, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Herbert Ho
