never mind. this is kernel autodetection. If you don't have this one, you
can sefely ignore this

If you have read the documentation, you would know that there
are 4 'flavors' of kernels in Debian. One of them only has
No. The standard one has almost all SCSI drivers, but the others don't.
drivers for SCSI drives, so you can't boot it on a IDE-only
system.
yes, you can.

zpx it's amazing how "not-broken" debian is compared to slack and rh

But it does have SCSI drivers, doesn't it? That's why it just hangs on that system.

You don't choose the kernel in the installation program. There are four kinds of installation sets, with four different kernels.
