Hello, The problem could be solved :
- compile 2.4.21 kernel (2.4.19 may also work - not tested) - with initrd, ramdisk options and all needed drivers - mount the Debian CD #1 - loop-mount a copy of the rescue image (found on the CD : install/rescue.bin), filesystem is ext2 - copy the kernel image into the rescue image as "linux.bin" (replace existing kernel) - execute the "rdev.sh" in the rescue image - umount the image - copy the image to a floppy - place the floppy and the Debian Disk in the new computer (with the 160 GB hard disk) - install Debian Woody ... - for the boot sector of the harddisk, I used the option -L when using LILO. Don't know if it is necessary, but it works fine (as my root partition begins at 80Gb ...) Thanks to everyone who helped to solve that problem ! Hope this will be useful for others ! Alain ROOS
