For instance, if you have an AMD Atlon (like me ), you cannot boot from Debian 2.1. I think there are others CPUs not compatible with Debian 2.1, but I don't knwow where the list is ( somewhere in www.debian.org, I think ) If this is the case, there are several solutions : - wait for debian 2.2 CDs - it should not be long, now - download Debian 2.2 from the net - Install from debian-based commercial distribution which has newer kernels (Corel, Storm and Libranet come to my mind), then use package manager tools to add others debian packages and remove the ones you don't like. - boot from a floppy made by someone with a kernel 2.2.x, then install debian from hard disk ( never tried this ) Ciao. -- FB
Re: I can't ever boot-up with my new computer!!!
I thought this was a potential bad memory problem. When I get these kinds of errors consistently I grab my memtest86(check freshmeat.net) boot disk and check it out. But I could be totally wrong on this.

Hey, I can't install Linux, because when I boot of the 2.1 CD, it dies, showing me the stack.
