I downloaded the boot disks from potato and attempted to boot. I also burnt a cd of the /debian-cd/2.2????/alpha/binary-alpha-1.iso and attempted to boot. Both produce the same results.
When booting either, I do get through the aboot (using SRM console mode, not ARC) Once I see the start of the linux boot, the cpu halts and it takes me back to the SRM prompt. Sometimes I see a line that says the same thing as /proc/version would say. On the cd, it looks for boot/linux which exists in / not in /boot. Specs as best I can say: AlphaServer 1000a 4/266 Mylex Raid controller (tried w/o it, same thing) 160mb ram Some ethernet card (not sure, haven't removed, assume this doesn't effect anything) I'm not sure what else I need to say. I also have never had linux running on this machine so this is an initial install. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals
