I'm trying to get 'potato' up-and-running on a box that thought it would have Windoze, a Compaq Presario 4660. CMOS says 2 instances of shadow RAM are present, but doesn't provide a way to turn that 'feature' off. Debian gets as far as the line about "freeing unused kernel memory" and then halts, system locked up at that point.
- Is this -likely- to be a shadow RAM problem? - Would Phoenix really have made it impossible to turn shadowing off? - Any solution in view other than "buy different BIOS"...? - Any other tips, clues, theories on why Debian is halting there?
