Greetings; Yesterday I tried to install Debian on an IBM NetVista model 2254. This is a 1.+ Mhz Pentium that was running Win2k satisfactorily but has recently been replaced.
I tried to install Debian from the iso cd image #1 but no luck. Same results when I tried several other linux distribs. The machine resets and reboots at what looks like the end of the hardware scan phase. At that point the screen goes blank and a few seconds later it starts the POST. The machine runs all the DOS type stuff and Partition Magig just fine. BTW, I put the CD drive and the HDs in an AMD-K? box and I could install fine on it so the media and storage are definitly OK. I spent several hours searching the IBM site to no avail. I am hoping that someone here might be able to shed some light on this problem, and maybe have a solution too!
