Bootdisk for ThinkPad

1999-12-09 Thread Dale Scheetz 
My Compaq died last Sunday, so I rented a replacement to take me to the
LSP specification meeting this weekend. Well the short version is that it
is an IBM ThinkPad, and the Debian 2.1 boot disks will not work. (root.bin
gets loaded as does the kernel, but there it hangs without uncompressing
the kernel)

Can someone point me to a rescue disk for the ThinkPad? I can install Red
Hat 6.1 and Caldera 2.3, but not Debian!

Please CC me on your reply, as I am not subscribed to debian-user at this
time.

Thanks,

Dwarf

Try the tecra disks, resc1440tecra.bin and resc1440tecra-safe.bin. 
I am using a ThinkPad 770Z, and I had to use the tecra rescue disk 
to get it up and running.

Thanks, that worked! So the tecra disk is also a zImage rather than a
bzImage? (I understood that the problem with this machine was that it
could not uncompress a bzImage kernel. Is that correct?)

Thanks again,

Let me know if this doesn't work...

I've made the same experience with a TP 365XD.
