The 'pnpbios' parameter won't exist in the kernel you're trying to use--looks like it was introduced early in the 2.5 series of kernels. If you have the resources, you could try rebuilding the kernel for the installer and removing the PNP BIOS support. This is probably more trouble than it's worth. This should be as "simple" as installing the kernel-source package, dropping the existing kernel configuration file (check for /boot/*config*) into the root of the source as .config, running 'make menuconfig', disabling the PNP BIOS driver, then rebuilding the kernel and modules. Try Nick's suggestion. Try Robert's suggestion, if you don't have a good reason for running such an old release of MDK. MDK10 uses the 2.6 series kernel, and the PNP BIOS driver has had quite a bit of work done on it in 2.6. In fact, I'm somewhat surprised it was enabled in a 2.4 kernel--the old driver is known to cause problems on quite a few machines. Alternatively, work through the Plug'n'Play HOWTO[0], and see if that gets you anywhere. > I used the rescue disk to get into the box. Did a chroot /mnt to get > access.
