Thanks for your reply Concerning your short question which boot image I used: I have downloaded a rescue. bin that I 've found in ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/potato-pr oposed-updates/disks-i386/current/images-1.44 I think because there are other folders called idepci, compact, udma66 and safe, that this must be the rescue.bin belonging to the so called 'vanilla'. I think vanilla contains rather more modules and drivers than compact. Right? So I understand the description in http://www.debian.de/releases/stable/i386/ch-Insta llationsmethoden.de.html under 5.3.(it's a german page) But the system hangs. Perhaps it will help the last four lines before the system will hang. I wrote them down from the screen (scsi0) Adaptec AHA-2940X host adapter found at 0/12/0 (scsi0) narrow channel scsi ID=7, 16/255 SCBs (#whatever it means) (scsi0) downloading sequenzer ....415 instructions downloaded scsi: <fdomain> detection failed (no card) again: PC P90, 64MBRam ASUS board p55TP4xe AWARD Bios 1994-95 AHA 2940 SCSI controller ID=7 HD 80hex 1GB (the old one with M$Win95) ID =0 (Seagate) HD 81hex 10GB (fdisked one primary partition) ID=1 (IBM) CD-Rom ??hex ID=4 (Toshiba Xm3501) on board fdd and ide, ide disabled not bootable from cd thank's to all who will help me to get linux running on this hardware Christian
