The kernel in woody had a bug which froze the system on a /proc/cpuinfo access (which is done by the installer). I don't know if a fix for that went in woody, newer kernels work. > Is Debian for this machine pretty complete > (i.e. I can run X and everything else)? The kernel lacks support for the ACCESS.bus devices (I have a patch for this), and X runs in trouble with the keyboard mapping. So currently there is only support over serial console, but its close to work. Once the kernel is updated, the console will work. I haven't figured out yet how the X problem can be fixed. Thiemo
