Hi, I don't get a start up log while debian is booting > and I don't understand that. Does someone know what, if any, line in my menu ist (posted below) would cause the start up log to be blanked? In other words I don't see anything no boot messages.The first thing I see after selecting debian in the grub menu is the login/select user box.
> title debian3.0 > root (hd1,4) > kernel (hd1,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7 root=/dev/hdb5 hdd=ide-scsi > vga=791 > initrd (hd1,4)/boot/initrd.img-2.4.18-k7 > I read the SuSE Grub help and it said that some kernels don't need a initrd. So I just removed the initrd line from the slack entry and it booted!! Maybe that will help someone else. i am now booting floppy-less! Alright! Thanks again & again! > title slackware9.0 > root (hd1,1) > kernel (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.20 root=/dev/hdb2 hdd=ide-scsi > vga=791 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Protect your PC from local E-Mail Application security holes*** ***Maintain your Privacy - MS Passport Free*** ***Anti SPAM "Whitelist" feature*** http://www.x-mail.net Web Based E-Mail, accessible anywhere Voice Messages, Voice Calls (VoIP), Video Conferencing, Live Chat, X-Mail Messenger, Personal Web Hosting, 128 bit SSL Secure, Calendar, Bookmarks, Forwarding, Virtual Mail Map Aliasing X-Mail Premium: 20MB Messages, 100MB Storage, SMTP, POP3, Ad Free ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anonymous Web Surfing http://www.snoopblocker.com Search http://www.teradex.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
