I received "Run Level" prompt on the first Dachstein-CD release.  I
cannot remember if it was my network card driver or the hardware
configuration.  But here's a clue: "hard disks".  The linux kernel will
detect all ide drives.  I presume you have hda; a C: drive; that is
primary master on ide channel one for your hard drive and hdc; a D:
drive; that is a primary haster on ide channel two for your cdrom in
both of the machines you tried this on.  I did the same on one of the
Windows boxes I have--no luck.  Dachstein keeps with the LEAF/LRP reboot
security philosophy.  This idea is to have write protected disks and
minimize having hard drives that could be comprimised. If you have an
issue with the firewall you reboot from the readonly media and the ram
drive is reimaged with a fresh OS.  Hence, the Dachstein-CD
configuration presumes that you have one or two floppies and your CD
drive as the first primary on your first IDE channel, hda or C:. i.e.
mimimal hardware in your LEAF box.  I finally tested the CD on my LEAF
box that has two floppies and an hda cdrom drive.  It worked properly.

If this doesn't help, Michael is pointing you to BIOS and boot
configuration issues that you will have to solve.  Charles has a write
up in the readme.txt file.

Hope this helps,
