From http://debian.midco.net/debian/dists/hamm/main/disks-i386/current/install.txt (or any other web mirror) 8.3. Replacing the Kernel If you find it necessary to replace the kernel on the Rescue Floppy, you must configure your new kernel with these features linked in, not in loadable modules: o Initial RAM disk. o MSDOS, Minix, and EXT2 filesystems. o ELF executables. Copy your new kernel to the file "linux" on the Rescue Floppy, and then run the shell script "rdev.sh" that you'll find on the floppy. : How can I find out what the problem is when dinstall exits with error : code 100? No clue :) : How can I disable scsi bus scans at the boot prompt? Don't compile in SCSI support and/or pass the proper parameters to the kernel at boot (see the BootPrompt HOWTO). -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
