My cd-rom is not recognized by the debian installer because of the intel 965 chipset on my asus p5b mainboard. I know there is a way to install from an iso image on the hard drive but I am having problems understanding how to get this to work. I currently have mandriva installed and lots of extra harddrive space for other distrubutions. I'd like to load etch and 64studio which is a debian based multimedia distribution.
I believe I need the hd-media version of the debian installer, which I can't find in the ia64 installation manual at http://www.us.debian.org/releases/stable/ia64/. http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-ia64/current/images/ I only see booting from cd-rom and from tftp mentioned. I have gotten grub to find and load initrd.gz and vmlinuz which I copied to /boot/newinstall on my hardrive. I took these from a 64studio.iso. But of course that just brough me back to the point in the installation where the cd-rom is not recognized, since these are taken from an install cd. At least if I could find the right vmlinuz and initrd.gz to use (the ones for hd-media) I think this will work. Thanks for your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
