Hello everybody, I'm failing to install Debian 2.2 r0 on my new ASUS S8200 laptop.
Laptop info: ============ o Mobile PIII w/ 700 Mhz o PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Rel.6.0 o CRT Display mode: XGA w/ res.1024 x 768 o 10 GB IDE-HD from Toshiba o DVD-ROM from Toshiba o and USB-support For every other details please check http://www.asus.com.tw/Products/notebook/s8200a/spec.html Installation Media: =================== Binary-CD1 from a german distributor LinuxLand using the DVD-ROM as the boot device. Installation steps: =================== Installation is OK until you need to restart the system; i.e. I've tried it with and without a small /boot partition to insure that it is not a problem with cylinders > 1024. After the reboot the system seems to startup normally, the only message I do not understand and might be suspicious is: ... chmod: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory ... INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 Starting system log daemon: syslogd klogd. Starting PCMCIA services: modules cardmgr. This is the last boot message, than the system hangs or does whatever. Can you please advise me what to do and/or whatever other information detail you might need from my failed installation attempt. Kind regards, Viktor Ransmayr PS: Don't be suspicious about the different e-mail address. I'm sending this from the mail-account of an italien friend of mine. ( And don't ask if I have nothing better to do while I'm in Italy :-)
