Package: install Version: various Architecture: IBM ThibkPad R40e
Debian-installer on this IBM Thinkpad seems to require USB disabling in order to work with the 2.4 kernel. If this is the case then this should be mentioned in the release notes. HOWEVER the most recent installer, test 2-pre, hangs when booting even with USB disabled but an earlier version works ok. I tried other arguments (floppy=thinkpad, disabling APIC, LAPIC) with no differing results Here are the different installers and options I've tried and their results: installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug kernel boot option: linux argument: none result: displays the language chooser but won't allow any keypresses. installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug kernel boot option: linux argument: debian-installer/probe/usb=false result: works ---------------------------------------------- installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug kernel boot option: linux26 argument: result: works installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug kernel boot option: linux26 argument: debian-installer/probe/usb=false result: works ========================== installer version: test 2-pre kernel boot option: linux argument: none result: displays the language chooser but won't allow any keypresses installer version: test 2-pre kernel boot option: linux argument: debian-installer/probe/usb=false result: displays the language chooser but won't allow any keypresses ---------------------------------------------- installer version: test 2-pre kernel boot option: linux26 argument: none result: hangs at: ACPI: thermal Zone [THM0] (59 C) Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd/ installer version: test 2-pre kernel boot option: linux26 argument: debian-installer/probe/usb=false result: hangs at: ACPI: thermal Zone [THM0] (59 C) Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd/ I had the problem of not allowing any key presses at the language chooser with the Woody installer and there are many reports of it on the web, without work arounds -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
