I had problems mailing to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, so I'll post this to the list in hopes that you'll see it. (BTW, this is all a bit OT for debian-devel; any further discussion should be on debian-user - sorry for the cross-post.) --------------------------------------------------------------- The problem you are having is a "feature" of the Debian 2.1 boot disks. The following is from the 2.1 release notes, which can be viewed at <http://www.debian.org/releases/slink>. Rescue Floppy Users of Adaptec 2940 SCSI cards, and other SCSI controllers with the aic7xxx chipset, will probably experience problems with the standard boot-floppies. A kind user has made some experiments which many users find to solve their problems. There are two alternative Rescue Floppies for the i386 architecture at ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/. There are also replacement kernels in that location, which you can use to simply replace the existing kernels on the boot-floppies. Hope that helps, tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Forget honesty - forget creativity http://www.debian.org | The dumbest buys the mostest | Is the name of the game... (Biafra)
