Hi, first of all: Don't worry, Debian CAN be installed on the I8000 so that absolurly everything runs perfectly!

Probably, you use a kernel with activated PCMCIA support which is causing a kernel panic during boot unless you install a patched version of pcmcia-cs. You should be able to boot in single user mode though. I put a tarball (dell.tgz) at http://people.debian.org/~gbechly/ with all the necessary files and docs to install Debian on the Dell I8000. This tarball also includes a customized kernel 2.4.3 as deb and patched debs for pcmcia-cs and SVGAlib. Best luck, Guenter -- Linux: Who needs GATES in a world without fences?
