Sorry this is so late, but I haven't had time for debian-user much recently. Note that this problem is usually caused (on laptops) by a bzImage. If the kernel is recompiled as a zImage, you should be fine. I sucessfully used the tecra boot disk (look in the standard Debian disks directory) on one machine (not a tecra) with this problem. Ignore this if it's no longer relevant... -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
