Cross-compiling the boot floppies is not recommended. You need to get someone to get the boot-floppies source, add the patch, and build a custom install floppy. > does the solution involve the computer manufacturer? is there something about > the video chip (cirrus logic 7548 pci)? It seems the chip is the problem, and the symptoms support this. The boot disk mis-identifies the chip. > so, are there any debian gurus out there who love tricky problems? Dunno - more to the point is - do you trust any of us enough to have us build a hacked install floppy for you?
