This bug is not a package bug, but a bug in the installprocedure. I am using debian-0.93 R6
When I start installing debian from scratch using the boot disk, i have to write: boot: linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 As a boot-parameter or else the system freezes when coming to the 'IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP' part of the boot sequence It seems that there are problems detecting my NE2000 compatible netcard That is not the problem that I wan't to report, cause when I type the ether parameter it works fine. The problem appears when I have installed the base system, and have made my second boot disk, which will enable me to boot in the new debian system. When I boot on the second boot disk, I can't give my ether-parameter, and thus the system freezes again in the same spot So in order to fix the problem I had to remove the netcard, and boot without it, which actually worked. Or, as I really did, boot Linux from a previous Slackware-installation on an other hard-disk, and mount the debian base system, and copy the kernel on to my a dos-partition, and use 'loadlin' with the ether boot-parameter. A solution might bo to prompt for bootparameters as on the first boot disk. - Jan Moeller PS: I like debian :) Jan Moeller [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daimi.aau.dk/~fwiffo Computer Science Department, Aarhus University.
