the problem is the kernel on the debian cd is too old to run on athlon, its probably running linux 2.2.12, i hear 2.0.36 works but if you use 2.2.x i believe you need 2.2.13 or newer.
only thing I can suggest is install to another machine and move the HD over..you can try to make your own boot/root disk but i've never tried it. nate On Thu, 20 Jan 2000, Nicola Tessari wrote: nitess >Hello there, nitess >I'm here because my official debian cd (bought at linuxcentral) doesn't nitess >boot... nitess >After few seconds the booting process in my machine stops at the line: nitess >md driver 0.36.3 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAXREL=8 nitess >Anyone could tell me which is the problem? nitess >I've choosen the hardware checking out if it was supported (k7 500MHz nitess >with asus k7m, cd creative 48x). nitess >Slackware 7.0 boots well (from linux central too) nitess >Thanks a lot in advance, nitess >Nicola nitess > nitess > nitess >-- nitess >Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null nitess > ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 7:28am up 153 days, 19:33, 1 user, load average: 1.65, 1.66, 1.59
