That might answer your question. Etch is currently in the middle of some
major changes, and at least some deve

As others have noted, the Debian 1.1 disks work for installation on
Thinkpads. That is how I originally bootstrapped mine. Apologies if
this has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I believe that
the culprit is the bzImage kernel format. When compiling a custom
kernel for my Thinkpad 760

I have had this very same problem. I solved it by using the old Debian 1.1
boot/base disks. Then I pointed dselect to Debian 1.2. This worked well and
was the only way (short of possibly creating a custom boot disk) that I found. I
also had no problem installing Slackware on my Thinkpad...
HTH,
Thanks for the reply.

First, thanks to all who have taken the time to reply.
I really appreciate all the help.

I concur. I loaded Debian 1.

I am trying to install Debian/GNU/Linux 1.2 from floppy disks on

I had this same trouble a couple of months ago when trying to install
Debian on a friends ThinkPa
Thanks for the reply!
I just tried again using resc1440.bin from
../debian/frozen/disks-i386/current/
I wrote and tried booting with three brand new floppies.
Same result :-(

Thanks again, Rick.
I've just tried again:
For each of three brand new diskettes, I put resc1440.bin on it from
my Linux box using dd (first with dd-3.16, later using dd-3.12,
and then cat) to write the disks, then tried to boot with it.
Same result: hangs after the `loading linux..
In the instructions there is a possible explaination. Unless those disks
are flawless it will lock just as you have described. It's happened to
me. Sometimes you have to go through a few disks before you find a good
one. This is because DOS is more forgiving of flaws in a floppy.
