-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
I am trying to make a smooth transition fom windows to Debian in my work PC. I needed to be sure that not having win on this machine wouldn't affect my work, since unfortunatelly we use many windows-based applications. For that, I thought of first installing a proof-of-concept Debian inside a VM. This way, I could go on installing Debian and all the tools I needed without having to break my workflow. Since I wanted to make the move from MS to freedom, before I started with the adventure, I freed space in my HD and told the VM to use my physical disk instead of creating a virtual one. At the moment, I have a fully working Debian Lenny that runs smoothly inside the VM. The current situation is as follows: When I boot the PC, I am presented with a GRUB menu with three options: Debian's stock kernel, the same kernel but single-user, and Windows. Currently, I am only able to boot Windows. After doing that, When I boot the VM, I get the same GRUB menu and can boot Debian without a problem. The problem is when I want to boot Debian directly on the PC and not inside the VM. The boot process starts normally, but then hangs. The last lines that appear in the boot are: Begin: Mounting root file system... ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... Done. Begin: Waiting for root file system... ... And from there, I can only Control-Alt-Delete or do a cold reset. The machine is a Dell Optiplex GX280 P4-HT with 2GB RAM and a 80Gb IDE HD. Any ideas?
