My BIOS is dated 6/8/99 and the Official CD, which I am trying to install from, uses a 2.0.36 kernel. > Please see the Large Disk Mini HOWTO on details concerning your > problem. I've had to deal with the same issue, and I've installed a 2.2.x kernel > solve it, as suggested in the HOWTO: I've read the HOWTO, but installing a 2.2.x kernel is not an option yet since I haven't been able to install Debian yet. Should I install a 2.2.x-based distribution and _then_ install Debian over it? How soon 'til a 2.2.x-based Debian? > If you have thought about updating your system in order to run a 2.2.x kernel, > this might just be the time to do it. All in due time, I assure you. Thanks anyway! - d.
