initrd extends beyond end of memory
¡Hola! I'm having problems trying to install debian in my notebook. It has no cdrom, no bootable floppy drive. So i'm using the booting from DOS approach. When it boots it displays: initrd extends beyond end of memory (0xc1d8 > 0xc1d0) disabling initrd What can i do ? Tnx, HoraPe --- Horacio J.
