Bug#628125: Can not install 6.0.1 on PC Sempron 2600
Good Afternoon, I have replaced processor and i have passed installation of base system from CD1 of Debian 6.0.1 However, when I have tried Debian LiveCD it hangs with "corruped kernel image" message. In general: thanks Your advice, I have replaced processor first time in my life and it was nice educational experience. Now I am downloading files for making system workable and everything seems going well. Have a nice day :-) With Best Regards Barbara Glowacka On Mon, 30 May 2011, jas...@jastra.com.pl wrote: Good Morning, Thanks for information.

Bug#628125: Can not install 6.0.1 on PC Sempron 2600

In another attempts installation just hangs with dead keyboard and flashing together lights Caps Lock and Scroll Lock during base system installation. Only hard reset helps.
