I need help getting Debian installed.
First of all, let me say that I am aware by looking at the 2.2
architecture support that debian MAY not support my system. However,
I am very new to this so ... Here's the situation ...
I AM INSTALLING 2.1 DEBIAN, NOT 2.2.
I bought a book, "learning Debian/GNU Linux" by McCarty (O'Reilly
Pub.) which included a CD with debian. In the instructions it
told me to create a boot disk. I followed the instructions and
created a boot disk. I booted the computer using the boot disk
and it recognizes all 3 of my hard drives and my CD Rom and the
floppy, and then I get these lines of text on the screen before
I get error messages and my system freezes:
IP protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP
Starting KSWAPD v 1.5
Detected PS/2 mouse port
RAM Disk driver initialized: 16 Ram disks of 4096K size
Loop: Registered device at major 7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the above lines telling what it recognizes about my system,
I get the following message:
NCR53c406a: No available ports found
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, my system freezes. My system specs are as follows:
AMD Aflon 750 Mh CPU
MSI Mainboard motherboard (AMD Aflon chips at base - designed
for AMD Aflon processor)
128 Mg Ram
3 hard drives
#1 Fujitsu 10.2G (This is going to be Linux HD #1)
#2 Fujitsu 10.2G (Linux HD #2)
#3 Maxtor 15G (Windows 98)
48x IDE CD-Rom
PCI 128 16-bit 128 voice-wave table sound card
SP-619 280 WT dot 3d AC/DC
Video card = ATI XP 2000 32MB SDRAM Rage
Modem = Gitan 56k vdot 90 ISA with voice INT R rockwell
Mouse = Microsoft elite PS2
Ethernet card = FA310 TX 10/100 PCI
Monitor = AOC 7GLR 17 inch .25 dot pitch 1600 x 1200
External DSL modem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My primary method of accessing the Internet will be DSL, which
is active and ready to go. I will only use a dial-up connection
for emergency back-ups.
Any help or guidance in getting Debian installed will be greatly
appreciated.
