Re: AMD 64 DVD Installer for Debian Lenny Hangs
Doug, I did not respond to the Debian-Boot mailing list. I will do that now. Thank you for the suggestion.

Its generally a good idea to reply to the same thread so that when someone searches the archives with the same problem they see both the suggestion and the successful result.

Thanks, Scott Huey While not an expert at all, I do feel comfortable saying that you should be able to get Debian on the machine. I would suggest Etch initially (changing up to Lenny is easy), unless there is something found in Lenny that you need for the installation. What do you know about the Dell? MB? Controllers? Have you checked for compatibility issues others installing Linux (not necessarily Debian) may have had with these components (esp. the MB)? Have you tried an Ubuntu (or other) live cd to see how it fares? My own issues with my recent install led to finding out what boot options had to be included to get around a MB not fully supported at this time. You may have similar ones. The message you see involves the kernel setting up a scheduler internally. My gut tells me that that is not the source of the problem, but just the point things get to as something underneath is coming into play...

You should search the archives anyway. If you submit an installation report (from the install manual), it goes via the bug tracking to debian-boot. They were very helpful when I got a bleeding-edge box and needed to use Etch a while before it froze. I guess my box at that point was bleeding-etch.
