Greetings, I have both Potato and Sid on my box. When I have to go into X on Potato, I have to pull out my Radeon VE card and put in my TNT2 since that's what works with X in Potato. This used to work fine, but I ran into a snag tonight. After the switch, I booted up into Potato, and all of a sudden the boot process just froze at the spot where it identifies my ide0 and ide1 channels, but it doesn't get as far as identifying my hard drive. At first I swore this was somethin with my hd, but after switching back to my Radeon card, everything worked fine. I switched out a couple more times just to make sure it wasn't some fluke, and sure enough, if I had my TNT2 card in, it stopped there every time. I even tried booting off of the installation CD for Potato, (because i was going to try a quick and dirty install of it to a new partition just for kicks) and that did it each time, too.
So my question is this. Why would a video card switch make bootup die at the part where it identifies my ide channels or hard drives? My reason for going through all this is because I needed to install a program under Potato that requires libc6 2.0 or 2.1. Evidentally 2.2 doesn't work with this particular program (CorelDRAW 9, if anyone has any experience with that one) Is there some way to possibly have 2 version of libc6 installed? (Yeah, I know it's a kludge, but I'm desperate to get this thing working) Thanks in advance, Jeremy
