Weird... I've successfully installed 2.2 on my 7020.... Don't remember doing anything special, but what you might try is go into bios setup and disable the cache until you have a custom kernel up and running. Remeber being forced to do that on lots of Toshibas. Be warned that it is very slooow without the cache enabled. > from my searching of the web/usenet/lists this is similar to the problems > experienced with toshibas with 2.1 and solved by using the tecra floppy. > > is there a tecra floppy for 2.2? > > the only other thing i can think of is do i need to pass any parameters > to the kernel at boot? > > thanks > marty > > "I can't buy what I want because it's free.
