Hello, thank you for reading this message. The first boot for installation of debian 2.1 fails. After 'Loading linux ..............' nothing happens, the machine hangs. I tried several bootdisks (resc1440.bin resc1440-safe.bin resc1440tecra.bin) and even old bootdisks from a previous debian version. Also booting from DOS using loadlin doesnt work. Unfortunately the machine cannot boot from cdrom.
architecture: 486SLC model: motherboard TD70AN with AMIBIOS memory: 16 MB RAM harddisk: 2 harddisks cd-rom: mcd no network or soundcard Its tempting to think that this is a hardware problem however Slackware 3.5 bootdisks and FreeBSD bootdisks do work. The machine has worked with Slackware 3.5 for a while without any problems. Wanted to try Debian but ...... Any advice (or dirty tricks) on how to solve this problem is appreciated.
