Hi everybody, since 2 weeks I'm trying to install the debian linux distribution, first attempt was with 1.2.8, second with 1.3.1. Both resulted in crashing down during the boot process (look for subject "install problem: aic7xxx encountered spurious IRQ / aborting command due to timeout").
During the last 2 weeks I got the impression, that it is more important for the participants of this mailing list to discuss about debian policies and politics than helping a new user. I can't imagine, that none of the debian users has an Adaptec controller in his PC. Where is the excellence of the debian distribution, when it's unable to install on a conventional hardware, where Caldera, Suse, RedHat and Slackware can without any problems. Don't talk, face the facts! And fact is, that debian can't install on a conventional hardware. Has anybody a solution for the problem? Has anybody more to offer than talk? I appreciate any sign of excellence. TIA. Dieter -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
