Situation: I've got a PWS 433au (Miata) on which I've been trying to do a "from scratch" install of Lenny. (See the gory details on debian-alpha). To make a long story short, I had reason to try and replace the existing CD-ROM drive with a CD-RW burner, and the Alpha refused to boot. I couldn't even get the power-up diagnostics to run.
I put the original CD-ROM drive back in the system (and removed the new one). Result: everything works correctly. Is SRM really that picky about the optical drive? Or did I simply install a defective drive (not likely, but I'll consider the possibility)? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit [email protected] | upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin | slitting throats." -- H.L.
