Trying to install Debian 2.1 on a friend's Dell Optiflex 486-66. I was booting off the bootdisk and when the initial message and the boot: prompt comes up, I hit enter, and it loads the root.bin, prints 4 periods, and then hangs, like this:
loading root.bin.... I tried all the boot images, resc-1440, resc-1440-safe, resc-1440-tecra, resc-1440-safetecra, and they all have this problem. To be sure it wasn't the hardware, I tried booting off a RedHat 6 bootdisk, and that worked fine. If it is a hardware conflict, what switches could I pass to the boot disk to fix this? Anybody know what could be wrong? thanks, noble -- N. Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
