Never seen that with any flavor of unix but it happens all the time with
Windows NT4 or Windows 2000 if you have an AMD K6/2 CPU ..... I am using
the same CPU with Redhat / Mandrake & Solaris and never had problems
then
but the Debian boxes both have Intel Pentium 100 / 133 so don't know if
Debian acts up with AMD but its a possibility I guess
BIOS? Help installing

I've got a problem istalling slink on a machine.
I managed to put base there.
But when I try to install the rest (using the atapi cd-rom) the whole
machine shuts down suddently. The power goes off suddently.
I've been suspecting two causes:
1) Is it possible, that the system is somehow using the cd-rom driver
wrongly? I had a problem with the base as well, if there was a cd inside
the drive. I couldn't boot the system then. The system was as well
giving
a message that it is trying to intall a scsi-driver, which it cannot
find.
As far as I know there aren't any scsi cards.
2) The other possibility is the BIOS.
It is
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
Plug and Play BIOS Extension v.1.0A
With win95 it has got a property that it is shutting power off
automatically, when I stop win95.
I cannot give any list of error messages, because the whole system is
broken after going off.
Anybody had similar problems or knows what to do?
