Incidently, I'm writing you this message from a Tecra 720 that dual-boots
Debian 1.3.x and Win95 (but I don't inhale!... my work requires
it)
Good luck!

Hi,
I'm trying to install debian on a Toshiba laptop off of a
cdrom from LSL. The first little bit after running Boot.bat seems to
work ok, but as soon as it's supposed to reboot into Linux the
computer just starts an endless cycle of reboots. LILO seems to load
the kernel ok, but I neve

My 1985 Compaq DeskPro 8086 had problems caused by a weird BIOS. It looks
like they have

Then I don't need the `linux' label anyway.

The l
uibk.ac.at/XL/ for more information.
Yes, but that's for an older Deskpro XL. Mine's a brand new Deskpro 6000.
Only the names are similar.
Slackware 3.0 and 3.2 both install without a hitch on this Compaq.

I tried that, but it didn't work. Perhaps this hints to a bad image?
I'll try booting with the same diskette on another PC...
I'm guessing the kernel name is 'linux'. It's actaully the label name
in LILO, if you had a label ... otherwise it's the name of he image, I
believe. No matter, as you can hit the key at the boot prompt to
see a list of valid boot images.
However, I don't think your 2940U is the problem. The n

Try 'linux'--you can probably find out for sure by hitting TAB.

Tried to install debian 1.3 from the TRI-Linux CD.
At some point during Linux loading, the system reboots and enters
an infinite cycle.
I have an Adaptec 2940U and tried to pass "aic7xxx=no_reset"
to the kernel, but I don't know what the kernel name is!
I tried:
boot: default aic7xxx=no_reset
