Just got the Debian CD's this week and installed a new drive (D) for the Linux installation. (Homebulit K-6 233 w\64mb) Drive C is a 3.2gb IDE (master) and the new drive(D) 5.1GB (slave). Drive C is dual boot DOS and NT. The bios allows booting from D. Earlier this week before I received the new drive I cleaned C and installed Linux. The install seemed to work as the system booted and I got the prompt. I then had to reinstall DOS and NT to C. The new disk came in, and seems to be working properly. Both drives were recognised correctly. Drive C was formatted with a 141mb swap at the end with the remainder in three equal partitions. I have tried both logical and primary with the same boot results. hdb1 boot flag set and lilo \ ext2 hdb2 linux hdb3 linux hdb4 swap
With the bios set to boot from D all that appears is "LI" and the systems hangs. Since my experience with Linux began a few days ago I would appreciate someone putting me on the right path for a good install with this configuration so I can start the learning process. TIA Henry
