Machine: Compaq Armada 1700 Processor: Pentium II Memory: Partitions: Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E] Detect network card: [ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: I tried the latest stable build http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r2/i386/bt-cd/ but got a crash on bootup; it was suggested that I try the latest build http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/bt-cd/ but the same problem exists. Booting with the option acpi=off gets me further into the installation, but I have hardware problems down the line so I can't finish the installation. (Seems to be a problem with overheating). I searched the internet and found that someone had a similar problem with a compaq armada, and this person had to build the kernel with a 3rd-party patch. http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hosted/armada-1700-debian/ Would I have to do something like that to get this to work? Thanks, output below: Output: . . .
