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.
