Have you tried useing the tecra boot disks ... you might try these boot
disk ... try installing from there as it will add that kernel to the hard
drive ... I think that the tecra boot disks are made for the Laptops that

John,
On the IBM thinkpad 760, you must use the tecra boot disk in the
special directory, and not the standard bootdisk. If you build your
own kernel, you must build it with 'make zimage' and not 'make
bzimage'. The thinkpad will hang as you describe otherwise.
The alternative, as you may have
If the thinkpad problem persist, try the tecra bootdisk (in the special
directory I think).

I recently bought the debian 1.3 cd's and an IBM thinkpad 760xl. The IBM came
with windows NT preinstalled. I have a 2.1Gig HD which I repartitioned into
two gig partitions using fips.exe. That worked fine.
My NT partition was booting fine (first partition) until I tried to install
