Hello, Sounds to me like you are trying to dual-boot with another os (correct me if i'm wrong). You have to make sure that your linux partition is in the first 1024 cylinders or you won't be able to boot from it.
Also, check out the following link for information on your network card. http://lhd.datapower.com/db/searchproduct.cgi?name=RealTek Leonard Leblanc Webmaster / Intranet Administrator www.emergeknowledge.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenner Almánzar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 9:51 AM Subject: Linux debian Hi! My name is Jenner, i'm new in the linux world and i really need some help. I have the GNU Linux Debian 2.1, i'm right now partitioning a 40Gb. disk and the system tells me that i cannot boot from the hard drive 'cause this distribution of linux only supports 1024 cylinders from hard disk and i got 19564 cylinders. What can i do? Do i got to always boot from the floppy? My other problem is that i got a RealTek net card and i don't have the drivers. Can i download it into a floppy? If i can do that, how can i install it? If i can't do it that way what can i do? thanks!
