Hi, I was installing debian (pre woody cds) on a server of mine with some pretty old drives (SAMSUNG SHD-3212A (APOLLO-4) AD 407MB and QUANTUM LPS270A 250MB). It works fine with the 2.20 kernel but when I try to boot from cd with the bf24 flavor it just gives me some messages about hda, interrupt lost and hda: drive not ready for command and doesnt go any farther.
I thought maybe it was a problem with that specific kernel and downloaded and installed the 2.4.19 image once I had my 2.20 system up. Well bad idea. I rebooted and it gave me whole shitload of Read errors and stuff. So I rebooted with 2.20 and now it tells me the filesystem is corrupt. Fsck gives a whole shitload of errors which it fixes. But when I reboot it wont even load grub anymore (error 2). So I reinstalled. I dont really need 2.4 but its strange that it screws over my hard drives so badly. Anyone know why? Or have suggestions on how to get it working? Thanks, Leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
