Package: Kernel Version: any Dear Sirs,
I tried out your distro on a laptop PC (Pentium III 900MHz); it is not a brand PC, it is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] PC, thus it is quite easy for me to have trouble installing GNU/Linux on it, so that till now the only distro that has been acceptable has been Slackware (both 9.1 and 10.1). Recently, I decided to try also Debian because it appeared very impressive (in the positive sense) to me, but I had a bad surprise which I didn't find with Slackware instead: when I mount the floppy drive I continuously receive the message: "Floppy unexpected interrupt" together with some other strange indication like "sensei repl[80]". To try to solve this problem I put the parameter "floppy=thinkpad" (even if it is not a thinkpad) in the kernel options in GRUB, but without any success; after that I tried the kernel parameter "floppy=no_unexpected_interrupts" and even then I had no result at all. Please, can you suggest to me a solution of any kind to this problem? Take note that the kernel installed is the one obtained specifying linux26 at the installation boot prompt; the problem arised also with linux24 choosen at boot time at the beginning of the installation.
Thank you a lot and many congratulation: Debian is really great! Luca "Killer Fish" PERSICO -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
