Changing to testing/unstable did the trick. Its booted. Actually, this 200MMX with its 128MB RAM and 8 Gig hard drive was my pride and joy once upon a time. when I moved it from NT Server to Linux, most felt I had passed up on a superb desktop machine when I could hav eput any old bit of tin as a Linux server. Yet now, compliling the 2.4 kernel was akin to watching paint dry it was so slow.
Makes me wonder if the 3.8 kernel in a few years will cause a P4 1500MHz to keel over in shock .-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Patrick Kirk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 6:21 PM Subject: Re: 2.2 to 2.4 | On Thu, 24 May 2001 17:18:30 BST, Patrick wrote: | | > | > After compiling the new kernel, I get the 'uncompresing kernel...OK' text | > and then nothing happens, the system just hangs and i have to reboot it. any | > ideas!? | > | > My system is a P200 MMX with 128MB RAM.
