problem with bootdisks - not booting
I'm a first time Debian user - not even that, since I can't even install it ;) I'm using the boot disks found in http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian2.2r6/main/disks-i386/2.2.26-2001-06-14/images-1.44/ /compact and /safe. After successfully dd'ing the images to a few floppies, I tried booting first with the "rescue.bin" disk. I see all the Debian stuff come up, and I get to the "boot:" prompt. There are no parameters I'm aware of that I need to pass, so I hit enter to continue. I then get "Loading linux..." and soon after, I get "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." I assumed that meant I needed the root disk, but that didn't work. I've tried a dozen different floppy disks, with images from both /current and /safe, with no success. The system I've got is an IBM Personal Computer, P133, 40 megs ram, ATI All-in-Wonder PCI vga adapter, SCSI Adaptec AHA-2940 adapter, with scsi HD, scsi cd-rom, and scsi tape drive. Unfortunatly I don't believe it's possible to boot from cd on this system. I also think it's a PCI/MCA system. Any suggestions?

Re: problem with bootdisks - not booting
Tried the rescue image in the 'root' directory, no dice. I've also looked in both the system and scsi bios for boot options. In the system bios, it doesn't list the cdrom as a bootable device, and in the scsi bios, it doesn't mention anything at all about bootable devices. Thanks, -- Duke.

Well you could try the images in the above 'root' directory rather than those from /compact and /safe ... that's what I did. > After successfully dd'ing the images to a few floppies, I > tried booting first with the "rescue.bin" disk.

I was going to suggest using other floppy disks, but you've already done that (I once did have a problem with a bad disk). :) > > The system I've got is an IBM Personal Computer, P133, 40 > megs ram, ATI All-in-Wonder PCI vga adapter, SCSI > Adaptec AHA-2940 adapter, with scsi HD, scsi cd-rom, and > scsi tape drive.

When your computer starts and the Adaptec SCSI BIOS lines show up press to enter the SCSI Select utility. I can't remember off-hand how to change the boot device in there but it is certainly possible - I know it is not too difficult though.

kernel recompile in woody
hey, i need to recompile my kernel (2.4.18-k7) with some minor adjustments to the configuration. since i can get the configuration file from /boot, all i need is the kernel source. i installed kernel-source-2.4.18, configured it and tried to compile it but it wouldn't compile. i figure that i need to include the kernel-headers for the k7 variant (kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7) in order to get a successful kernel build. how do i do this? mv -fr /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7 /usr/src/kernel-source2.4.18 ? also, if i just want the kernel and the modules in a debian package do i just do this? make-kpkg kernl_image ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

problems installing kde3.x on woody
hey, i have a fresh installation of woody (r0) here and upgraded. i got the line that i added to my sources.list from kde.org but it won't let me install kde, it gives a load of dependency issues (most of which are kde apps). even if i try to install kdm, apt grabs it from my debian source and not the kde source. i have even resorted to removing x from my system but i still can't install kde. what gives? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
